Guest Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 Hi Our topic in the next few weeks is time, trouble is i can't think of any songs connected with the topic. The only one i can think of that is slightly connected is this is the way we brush our teeth early in the morning etc.... and hickory dickory dock, does anybody know any others.
Guest tinkerbell Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 My children love 'What time is it Mr Wolf',Its great as you can see them all counting out loud. We play it in the playground so they can scream as they run away! Tinkerbellx

Guest Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Think there's a days of week song in one of the hymn books used in many schools. It goes Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday too. 1234567 days Each day different and every day new, Maybe some kind person can tell you where you could find the tune. Lynda

Guest Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 I was looking for these last week, the best one I found is sung to the tune of The Addams Family. Days of the week (clap, clap), Days of the week (clap, clap), Days of the week Days of the week Days of the week (clap, clap) There's Sunday and there's Monday, There's Tuesday and there's Wednesday, There's Thursday and there's Friday And then there's Saturday.

JacquieL Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 There is a lovely book of songs about time which is, I think, from Out of the Ark. It is one of a series of song books on themes and has a CD.

Guest Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 There is also this one, sung to the tune of 'Oh my darling Clementine' (think that's what the song is called!) There are 7 days There are 7 days There are 7 days in the week There are 7 days There are 7 days There are 7 days in the week. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. We use this with our children and use days of the week cards etc as they sing along. We also now have specific activities that we do on each day of the week and pictures of these are used on the days of the week cards to show the children which day we are singing about.
