ITSY BITSY MONKEY (tune of Itsy Bitsy Spider)
The Itsy Bitsy Monkey
climbed up the coconut tree (motion climbing)
Down came a coconut
and hit him in the knee (pretend coconut hits knee)
Out came a lion
shaking out his mane (pretend to shake out your mane)
And the itsybitsy monkey
climbed up the tree again (motion climbing again)

ZOO, ZOO, WE'RE GOING TO THE ZOO. (tune of Skip to my Lou)
* I used shakers to liven up the song and give the kids the freedom to get loose.
I chose different places to tap the shaker to...hands, knees, toes, head, nose...anywhere.
Zoo, zoo we're going to the zoo
zoo, zoo we're going to the zoo
zoo, zoo we're going to the zoo
Going to the zoo today.
Lions go ROAR at the zoo
Lions go ROAR at the zoo
Lions go ROAR at the zoo
Going to the zoo today (refrain)
Croc's go CHOMP at the zoo (use hands as a croc's mouth)
Croc's go CHOMP at the zoo
Croc's go CHOMP at the zoo
Going to the zoo today (refrain)
Flamingo's go (stand on one leg, other leg bend up and arms a wings to your sides) at the zoo
Flamingo's go (silent) at the zoo
Flamingo's go (silent) at the zoo
Going to the zoo today
Snakes go Ssssssss at the zoo
Snakes go Sssssss at the zoo
Snakes go Sssssss at the zoo
Going to the zoo today.
THE WHEELS ON THE BUS (version by Jeanne Willis)
This book can be read or sung. We all had a fun time since the tune is familiar but there are
some unexpected events that happen while driving to the zoo.
