Circle time songs!

So I thought I would share some of the songs we sing when we have a circle time - enjoy!

Tidy up song
Tune: The Farmer in the Dell
It’s time to tidy up
It’s time to tidy up
Put your toys on the shelf
It’s time to tidy up

Pick them all up
Pick them all up
Pick up all the toys
Pick them all up

Put them all away
Put them all away
Put all the toys away
Put them all away

Clean Up Time
 
Tune:
Row, Row, Row Your Boat

Clean, Clean, Clean up time.
Clean up time today.
Books and blocks and all your toys,
put them all away.

 Circle Time
Tune: Frère Jacques
Time for circle
Time for circle
Come sit down
Come sit down
Sit down with a friend
Sit down with a friend
Please  sit down

Welcome to the circle
Tune: The Farmer in the Dell

We're glad you're here today
We're glad you're here today,
Give a cheer! We're glad you're here,
We're glad you're here today!

(Name) is here today
(Name) is here today
Cheer! Cheer! (Name) is here!
(Name) is here today!
Buzzy, Buzzy Baby Bee

Buzzy, buzzy baby bee,
Won't you say your name for me? (point to child)
(I have a pointer in the shape of a bee, which I use to point to, or tap a child on the head - they giggle when this happens)
Jacob!
Good morning, Jacob!
I'm so glad you're here with me.

The Good Morning Train

The Good morning train is coming
How are you? Choo- Choo
The good morning train is coming
How are you? Choo-Choo
the good morning train is coming,
the good morning train is coming,
the good morning train is coming
How are you? Choo-choo...
Say good morning (child's name)
How are you? Choo-choo
Say good morning (another child's name)
How are you? Choo-choo
Say good morning to ___________
Say good morning to _____________
Say good morning ___________
How are you? choo-choo
Then you go through each child in your class with the same verse over again until you have included each child's name.... Oh and don’t forget the teachers as well! J
This can be sung as each child gets up and makes a train with the child whose name was called before them, until all children are a part of a long train. Move about the room!

Seven Days
Tune: Found a Peanut
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday, Friday, Saturday 
There are 7 days, there are 7 days,
there are 7 days in a week (CLAP on "week")

The Today Song
 Tune: Frere Jacques
Today is _______.
Today is _______.
All day long, all day long.
Yesterday was ______.
Tomorrow will be _______.
Oh what fun!
Oh what fun!

Weather Song
Tune: Oh My Darling
What’s the weather?
What’s the weather?
What’s the weather, everyone?
Is it windy?
Is it cloudy?
Is there rain?
Or is there sun?


Rain, Rain Go Away!
Rain ,rain go away,
Come again another day,
If you do, I will say,
go away I want to play!
