Hello Song


Review a Song - This Pretty Planet

This Pretty Planet by Tom Chapin


This pretty planet, spinning through space

You're a garden, you're a harbor

You're a holy place.

Golden sun going down

Gentle blue giant, spin us around.

All through the night

Safe 'till the morning light.


This pretty planet, spinning through space

You're a garden, you're a harbor

You're a holy place.

Golden sun going down

Gentle blue giant, spin us around.

All through the night

Safe 'till the morning light.


Music Theory: Measures & Time Signature


Animals On the Move

Instructions:

During this song, the children will be crawling, hopping, and flying around the group space. Make a point about the “Invisible Bubble” in your introduction and be alert for any bumping or pushing during the song. When children do bump or push their friends, gently remind them to move where there is room for their body.

Intro:

Tell the children, “Now we get to move our bodies like different kinds of animals. The first one is a spider crawling on the floor. You can do the backward crab crawl or a frontward crawl. But first, put your invisible bubble around your whole body. That means that your body will not bump or touch your friend's body. Make sure that you move your body where there is room to go without bumping your friends.”


chords: Am Em7 B, x2 A G# F#

Lyrics:

Spiders are creeping X4

Creep around the circle and stop

Snakes that slither X4

Slither round the circle and stop

Dolphins are swimming X4

Swim around the circle and stop

Birds are flying X4

Fly around the circle and stop

_________________________

Now think of all the animals in the whole world and move your body like any animal that you choose… here we go!

Animals are on the move, on the move

Be any animal that you choose, that you choose

In the forest, in the trees, in the jungle, in the sea

Animals are on the move

I see some tigers that are crawling in the jungle

I see whales swimming in the ocean

I see all kinds of animals

Now turn into an elephant

Elephants walking X4

Walk around the circle and stop
