2. Can’t Wait to Celebrate
We clap our hands when we get together.
Clap our hands to celebrate.
We clap our hands when we get together.
My friends and I an hardly wait…
To stamp our feet…..
To wave hello…..
To bounce up and down…
To clap our hands…

3. Open Shut Them
Open, shut them; open, shut them;
Let your hands go clap, clap, clap.
Open, shut them; open, shut them;
Drop them in your lap, lap, lap.
Walk them, walk them,
Walk them, walk them,
Right up to your chin, chin, chin.
Open your little mouth,
But do not let them in!

8. Flannel: Five Little Penguins
Five little penguins playing in the snow,
Slipping and sliding to and fro.
One looked up and yelled “Oh no!”
“I see a great big ball of snow!”
Rolling down the hill it stopped with a splat,
All that’s left is a fuzzy hat.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1…
Five big snowballs wearing fuzzy hats,
Rolled back home dressed just like that!
