Depending on how zealous you want to be there's a lot you can do with "Wheels on the bus" The men on the moon go bounce bounce bounce. The rockets in the sky go whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. The stars in the sky go twinkle twinkle twinkle etc.

 

Or to the tune of Ten green bottles. Ten silver rockets, flying to the stars, one little rocket rests its feet on Mars there'd be ......

 

All kinds of things you can make up and make your own! These are just off the top of my head

 

edit - One silver rocket, goes to look at Mars, sounds better!

Hi

We also sang to the 5 little men in a saucer tune about the little alien who really liked the sight and invited a friend to stay, we went up to 5 aliens but you could go to whatever number suits, which the children much preferred to act out while singing.

 

 

One little man in a flying saucer

flew round the world one day,

He looked left and right

and he really liked the sight,

So invited a friend to stay!

 

 

hope that helps

Zoom, zoom, zoom, were going to the moon. (Clap hands together to make a rocket and move around)

Zoom, zoom, zoom, we'll get there very soon.

If you want to take a ride, climb aboard my rocket ship.

Zoom, zoom, zoom, were going to the moon.

 

5...4...3...2...1.......BLAST OFF

There is an excellent song called spaceman sid it is on a CD by early birds

finger rhyme (to the tune of 5 little firemen if you are familiar with it!)

 

5 little astronauts standing in a row

1,2,3,4,5 they go

jump into their spacesuits one by on

and quickly pull their helmets on

 

5 little astronauts standing in a row

5,4,3,2,1 they go

climb into their rockets and very soon

they blast off and zoom to the moon

Not sure how old your kids are but...

 

 

 

The Astronaut's Plea (Tune: My Bonnie Lies...)

 

I went for a ride in my space ship,

The moon and the planets to see.

I went for a ride in my space ship,

Now listen what happened to me.

 

Chorus:

Bring back, bring back, Oh bring back my spaceship to me, to me.

Bring back, bring back, Oh bring back my spaceship to me.

 

I went for a ride in a spaceship,

The capsule was crowded and I,

Developed a cramp in my muscles,

So I decided to walk in the sky. (Chorus)

 

I went for a walk in my spacesuit.

The ship was controlled from the ground,

And someone in charge down at NASA,

Forgot I was walking around. (Chorus)
