Welcome, Welcome Everyone Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star Welcome, welcome, everyone! Now you’re here, we’ll have some fun. First we’ll clap our hands just so. Then we’ll bend and touch our toes. Welcome, welcome, everyone. Now you’re here, we’ll have some fun! The More We Get Together (Tune: Traditional) The more we get together, together, together, The more we get together, the happier we’ll be. ‘Cause your friends are my friends, and my friends are your friends. The more we get together, the happier we’ll be. Open Them, Shut Them (Fingerplay: Make the motions as you say them) Open them, shut them Open them, shut them. Give a little clap, clap, clap. Open them, shut them. Lay them in your lap, lap, lap. Creepy, crawly, creepy, crawly, Right up to your chin, chin, chin. Open up your little mouth, But do not let them in, in, in. Higher, higher, higher, Almost to the sky. Then like little birdies, watch them fly, fly, fly. Lower, lower, lower, Almost to the ground. Quickly pick them up again, And spend them round and round, faster, faster, faster, Now slower, slower, slower. Open them, shut them. Open them, shut them. Lay them in your lap, lap, lap. Open them shut them. Open them shut them. Give a little clap, clap, clap!

I hug you here, I hug you there, I hug you, hug you, everywhere! Grand Old Duke of York (Marching rhyme) Oh, the grand old duke of York. He had ten thousand men He marched them up to the top of the hill, and he marched them down again. And when they were up, they were up. And when they were down, they were down.
