BOUNCE: This is the Way the Ladies Ride<\/strong>
\nThere are lots of ways to do this! I sing it to “Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush.”<\/em><\/p>\n

This is the way the ladies ride,
\nJiggity jog, jiggity jog
\nThis is the way the ladies ride,
\nJiggity jiggity jog.
\nBounce babies ever so gently on your knees.<\/em><\/p>\n

This is the way the gentlemen ride
\nGallop and trot, gallop and trot
\nThis is the way the gentlemen ride
\nGallop and gallop and trot.
\nBounch babies: bigger bounce, smaller bounce, bigger bounce, smaller bounce…<\/em><\/p>\n

This is the way the farmers ride
\nHobbledy hoy, hobbledy hoy
\nThis is the way the farmers ride
\nHobbledy hobbledy hoy
\nSing slowly, rocking baby back and forth on your lap.<\/em><\/p>\n

This is the way the cowboys ride
\nGiddy up, giddy up
\nThis is the way the cowgirls ride
\nGiddy up, giddy up, whoa!
\nBounce all over the place! Yee haw!<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

PROP SONG: She’ll Be Coming Round the Mountain<\/strong>
\nRead more about this prop over here!<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She’ll be comin’ round the mountain when she comes
\nShe’ll be comin’ round the mountain when she comes
\nShe’ll be comin’ round the mountain,
\nShe’ll be comin’ round the mountain,
\nShe’ll be comin’ round the mountain when she comes.<\/p>\n

She’ll be drivin’ six white horses when she comes…
\nWe’ll all go out to meet her when she comes…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

FLANNEL SONG: A Hunting We Will Go*<\/strong>
\nToday we used mare\/chair, goat\/boat, sheep\/Jeep, and pig\/wig.<\/em><\/p>\n

LITERACY MESSAGE: Talking<\/strong>
\nParents, when you say animal sounds with your baby, what your baby is really learning are the sounds WE say in our language! This will help them become a good reader because they’ll need to hear all those sounds in order to sound out words when they read. Talking with your baby will help them get ready to read!<\/em><\/p>\n

BOOK: Baby Says Moo!<\/strong> by MACKEN
\nA new title with a bouncy rhyme. I paperclipped a few pages together to shorten it up for the babies today.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

SONG WITH PUPPETS: Old MacDonald<\/strong>
\nYou know this one! My nephew’s first word–and ONLY word for a few months–was E I E I O!<\/em><\/p>\n

Old MacDonald had a farm E I E I O!
\nAnd on this farm he had some pigs E I E I O
\nWith an oink oink here
\nAnd an oink oink there
\nHere an oink there an oink
\nEverywhere an oink oink
\nOld MacDonald had a farm E I E I O!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

ACTION RHYME: This is Big Big Big*<\/strong> <\/p>\n

CLOSING SONG: Sneeze Game*<\/strong> <\/p>\n
