Sung to: "Do Your Ears Hang Low!"

Are your teeth clean and white? (Smile really BIG)Do you brush them every night? (Place hands under head like sleeping)Do you brush them in the morning? (Stretch and yawn)Do you brush them all at night?Do you brush them side to side like a roller-coaster ride? (Make Rollarcoaster with hands)Are your teeth clean and white?

Little Boy Blue(mother goose)

Little Boy Blue (Hold hand close to the ground)come blow your horn. (“Play” a trumpet)The sheep's in the meadow.The cow's in the corn. (Pretend to eat corn)Where is the boy who looks after the sheep? (Hold hands up in question)He's under the haystack fast asleep (Fold hands under head as if sleeping)

Jack and Jill(mother goose)

Jack and Jill went up the hill (Walk in place)To fetch a pail of water. (Pretend to hold pail of water)Jack fell down and broke his crown (Bump head with hand)And Jill came tumbling after. (Roll hands in ball)
