Preschool Song: Peas in a Peapod






There were five little peas in the peapod
Sitting in a long straight row.
Then they all rolled over
And one fell out
And away he did roll!


There were four little peas in the peapod
Sitting in a long straight row.
Then they all rolled over
And one fell out
And away he did roll!

There were three little peas in the peapod
Sitting in a long straight row.
Then they all rolled over
And one fell out
And away he did roll!

There were two little peas in the peapod
Sitting in a long straight row.
Then they both rolled over
And one fell out
And away he did roll!

There was one little pea in the peapod
Sitting all alone.
Then he rolled over
And he fell right out
And away he did roll!

Preschool Song: Stack the blocks

I wrote this little ditti after observing a group of kids playing blocks.


Preschool Song: Stack the Blocks

Tune: The Ants Go Marching In
We stack the blocks one-by-one
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We stack the blocks one-by-one
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We stack the blocks one-by-one
We are having so much fun
Then they all go tumbling down – to the ground
Boom, Boom, Boom!
Repeat and change verses to two-by-two, three-by-three and so on…

Play a Game
Set out some blocks and as you sing the song, have the children stack the number of blocks called for in each verse and when the song says the blocks come tumbling down, let the children knock their blocks over too!

See this post about how we worked together to stack those blocks!

Preschool Song: An Orange Is Appealing

Orange song


An Orange is Appealing!



An orange is appealing
But you can't eat the peeling
So you better peel the peeling away!

Repeat and get faster each time!
