Opening
I know a New Way to Say Hello by Big Jeff for Exercise Party

I know a new way to say hello
Say hello say hello
I know a new way to say hello
All you do is wiggle your ears

Stomp your feet

Move your hips

But I still like the old way to say hello
Say hello say hello
All you do is wave your hands

The Elevator Song from Jbrary

Oh the city is great and the city is grand
There's a whole lot of people
on a little piece of land
And we live way up on the 57th floor
and this is what we do when we go out the door.
We take the elevator up and the elevator down,
take the elevator up, take the elevator down
Take the elevator up and the elevator down
and we turn around.

Oh the ocean is great and the ocean is grand.
There are lots of tall ships and very little land.
And we sleep down deep in a hammock near the floor
And this is what we do when we go out the door:
We ride the waves going up, we ride the waves going down
We ride the waves going up, we ride the waves going down
We ride the waves going up, we ride the waves going down
And we turn around.

Oh the fair is great and the fair is grand
There are lots of tall rides and cotton candy in your hand
Better get your ticket quick and don’t be late 

And this is what you do when you go through the gate
Take the roller coaster up and the roller coaster down
Take the roller coaster up and the roller coaster down
Take the roller coaster up and the roller coaster down
And we turn around

Let's go riding on an elevator,
Elevator, elevator,
Let's go riding on an elevator,
Come along with me!
First floor, Second floor, Third floor, Fourth floor, Fifth floor,
And.... down-down-down-down-down.

Felt Board

Five Green and Speckled Frogs

Five Green Speckled Frogs – with felt set. I like the Raffi version of this song but sometimes it just goes too fast. We just sang along today and it worked fine.

Five green and speckled frogs
Sitting on a speckled log
eating the most delicious grub, YUM YUM
one jumped into the pool
where it was nice and cool
now there are 4 green speckled frogs
Ribbit ribbit!

Down in the Meadow
Down in the meadow in a little bitty pool
Swam ten little turtles and a mama turtle too
“Swim!” said mama turtle “Swim like I do!”
so they swam and they swam all over the pool

Change to different action words Splash, dive, float, etc.

Closing
First we go up, up, up (rise and reach up)
Then we go down, down, down. (reach down)
Then we go up, up, up, (reach up)
Then we spin round and round (spin around)
Then we all clap, clap, clap. (clap)
Then we all touch the sky. (reach up)
Then we all take a bow (bow)
Then we all say "Goodbye!" (wave goodbye)
