Week Two - Night Sky - Movement and Songs

Time for songs and movement. This is a favorite in our house, and I hope you enjoy it as well. There was a ton to choose from for the theme, so I grabbed our family favorites.

Before we get to the songs, I had to share something that I saw the other day on the internet. This is what I think we are trying to do over the summer, remind kids there is life beyond technology - enjoy!

Here are today's songs:

WE’LL BE ORBITING ‘ROUND THE MOON

Tune:  “She’ll Be Coming ‘Round the Mountain”

We’ll be orbiting round the moon, yes we will, 

We’ll be orbiting round the moon, yes we will.

We’ll be orbiting round the moon,

We’ll be orbiting round the moon,

We’ll be orbiting round the moon, yes we will.

put a ball in the center, and walk around the "moon"

                                   

Continue with other verses, such as: 

We’ll be landing on the moon

 jump in place, then slowly squat down

We’ll be walking on the moon 

exaggerated walking, with big steps

We’ll be blasting off again

jump and pretend to fly

We’ll be landing back on Earth

jump in place, slowly go into a squat, pretend to step out and wave

Rocketship Run by Laurie Berkner

Lyrics

I'm a Little Rocket  

  TUNE "I'm a Little Teapot" 

I'm a little rocket pointing at the moon.     

Raise arms above head and fingers tips touching 

Now I'm getting fueled up     

Wiggle hips 

We'll be ready soon.      

Stand up straight and tall 

When it's time to board me, then I'll say     

Slowly bend knees and crouch down - arms still above head 

Blast off! Zoom!   We're on our way.  

  Jump up and shout!
