Universe: Sky, Stars, Planets, Solar System, Sun, etc.

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Stars
(Tune: "Music, Music, Music")

Twinkle, twinkle, little stars,
Friends of Jupiter and Mars.
All you do the whole night through
Is twinkle, twinkle, twinkle.
Shine, oh, friends of mine.
If wishes really, really do come true.
I will wish tonight on you.
Please, oh please, oh please come true.
The wish I wish tonight on you.
Then tomorrow all day through
I'll twinkle, twinkle, twinkle.

(Jean Warren)

Another version:


Little Stars
(Tune: Music, Music, Music)

Twinkle, twinkle, little star
Friends of Jupiter and Mars.
ALl you do the whole night through
is twinkle, twinkle, twinkle.

Rockets keep flying higher
Keep Flying further, further every day,
And need the stars to chart their way.

So while you watch the ships go by
Keep on lighting up the sky
Keep on shining through the night
And twinkle, twinkle, twinkle.


The Stars Are Shining Bright
(Tune: "The Farmer in the Dell")

The stars are shining bright
See their twinkling light.
When you see the sky at night
The stars are shining bright.

Sky

Up, up and away,
I can fly so high!
Just believe in me,
And I'll reach for the sky!

I See a Star
(tune: Mary Had a Little Lamb)

I see a star that's not in the sky
Not in the sky, not in the sky.
I see a star that's not in the sky,
Can you tell me why?

It is in the ocean blue
Ocean blue, ocean blue.
It is in the ocean blue,
It has a name lie you.

See star, see star is it's name,
Is it's name, is it's name.
Sea star, sea star is it's name
And we're finished with this game.

Stars

At night I see the twinkling stars
Clasp and open hands
And a great big smiling moon.
Circle arms overhead
And mommy tucks me into bed
Lay finger in cupped hand
And sings a good night tune.
Rocking motion with hands

One Little Star

One little star was out last night
Cross one pointer finger over the first two fingers of other hand
It was pretty as can be
It was peeping through my window
Hold hands up to face as if peeping
And looking right at me.
Point to sky.

Bright Sun
(tune: "Row row row your boat")

Bright sun shining down,
Spread fingers and move hands down slowly
Shining on the ground
What a lovely face you have
Make a large circle in front of face with arms
Yellow, big and round.

The Sun is Up So High

The sun is up so high
Stretch arms above head.
And is so big and round
Form circle with arms.
But when the evening comes.
The sun goes down, down, down.
Slowly stoop until in kneeling position. 

You Are My Sunshine

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.
You make me happy when skies are gray.
You'll never know dear
How much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away.

What Can We Do on a Sunny Day?

What can we do on a sunny day?
A sunny day, a sunny day.
What can we do on a sunny day
When we all go out to play?

Mr. Moon
Mr. Moon, Mr. Moon, you're out too soon
The sun is still in the sky.
Go back to bed and cover up your head
And waittill the day goes by.

(Tune: She'll be coming around the mountain)

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

Up in the Sky
(Tune: Mary Had a Little Lamb)

What's that object passing by?
There's a ________________ in the sky
There's a ________________ passing by
Have children select what it is

Rocketship
(tune: Oh Do You Know the Muffin Man)

If I were a rocket ship, I'd blast to the moon,
I'd blast to the moon.
If I were a rocketship,
I'd blast to the moon after cowndown.
10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 (say without music)

I'm flying into space in my rocketship
Rocketship, rocketship
I'm flying into space in my rocketship
Flying to the moon.

I'm walking in space around my rocketship,
My rocketship, my rocketship
I'm walking in space around my rocketship
It's dark and cold in space.

If I were a rocketship I'd fly back to earth
Fly back to earth
If I were a rocketship
I'd fly back to earth from space.

If I were an astronaut I'd splash down at sea
Splash down at sea
If I were an astronaut
I'd splash in the sea from space.

Flying to the Moon
(tune: Farmer in the Dell)

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 Countdown

We're flying to the moon
We're flying to the moon
We left Earth in our rocketship
We're flying to the moon.

We'll take a walk in space.
We'll take a walk in space.
We left earth in our rocketship
We'll take a walk in space.

Moon Ride

Do you want to go up with me to the moon?
Point to someone, then self
Let's get in our rocket ship and blast off soon.
Pretend to climb in ship, swish hands quickly.
Faster and faster we reach to the sky
Jump and reach
Isn't it fun to be able to fly?

We're on the moon, now all take a look
Look down
And gently sit down and I'll show you a book
Sit down

Grandma Moon
Grandma Moon, Grandma Moon
You're up to soon!
The sun is still in the sky.
Go back to bed,
And cover up your head,
And wait till the day goes by.

Five little men in a flying saucer
Looked around the world one day
They looked left and looked right
But they didn’t like the sight
So one man flew away.

Mr. Moon
Mr. Moon, Mr. Moon, you’re out too soon
The sun is still in the sky
Go back into your bed
Until the day goes by
Twas on a summer’s evening
I walked the forest through
When suddenly I heard it
A soft and sweet cuckoo
Cuckoo! Cuckoo!
A soft and sweet cuckoo
Cuckoo!  Cuckoo!
A soft and sweet cuckoo!

The Moon Is Round
The moon is round
As round can be
Two eyes, a nose
And a mouth like me. 


I See the Moon
(tune: Hush Little Baby)


I see the moon and the moon sees me
Down through the leaves of the old oak tree
Please let the moon that shines on me
Shine on the ones I love. 


Over the mountain, over the sea
Back where my heart is longing to be
Please let the moon that shines on me
Shine on the ones I love. 
Zooming, Zooming
Zooming, zooming, 
Up to the moon
Zooming, zooming,
Back so soon. 


Zooming, zooming 
Up to the sky
Zooming, zooming

Down we fly!


Hippos & Rhinos

Draw a Hippopotamus
(A chalk talk)

Look! I made a big round ball! (1)
But, of course, that isn't all.
Now, I'll use a light bulb here, (2)
And on each side
I'll draw an ear, (3)
2 teeny eyes, (4)
And hoofs for feet. (5)
And my fat hippopotamus
Is now complete!



Rhinoceros



Frogs, Lizards, & Other Amphibians & Reptiles

Draw a Frog

Draw 2 round circles (1)
And you will see
Places where
2 eyes will be.

Now make a curve (2)
And another one, (3)
And a round fat body. (4)
Oh, what fun!

Draw 2 legs, (5)
And that will do,
Here's a funny
Frog for you!



Here is Mister Froggie

Here is Mister Froggie, hop, hop, hop!
(Extend middle & index fingers & make hopping motions)

How he jumps into the pond, PERPLOP!
(motion of diving with both hands.)



Cats and Kittens Rhymes, Songs, Fingerplays

The Three Little Kittens

Three little kittens, they lost their mittens
And they began to cry.
"Oh Mother dear, we sadly fear
Our mittens we have lost."
"What? Lost your mittens, you naughty kittens,
Then you shall have no pie."
"Meow, meow, meow."

The three little kittens found their mittens
And they began to cry,
"Oh Mother dear, see here, see here,
Our mittens we have found."
"What?" Found your mittens, you good little kittens,
Then you shall have some pie."
"Purr, purr, purr."

The three little kittens put on their mittens
And soon ate up the pie.
"Oh Mother dear, we greatly fear
Our mittens we have soiled."
"What! Soiled your mittens, you naughty kittens."
Then they began to sigh,
"Meow, meow, meow."

The three little kittens washed their mittens
And hung them up to dry.
"Oh Mother dear, look here, look here,
Our mittens we have washed."
"What? Washed your mittens, you darling kittens!
but I smell a rat close by.
Hush, hush, hush!"
