(Chant) Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?
______ stole the cookie from the cookie jar. Who me?
(Others) Yes you!
(Named person) Couldn't be!
(Others) Then who?
(Repeat)
 
 
A little red apple
Hung high in a tree
I looked up at it
And it looked down at me
"Come down, please" I called
And what do you suppose
That little red apple
Dropped right on my nose
 
 
Way up high, in the apple tree (raise hands over head)
Two red apples smiled at me (smile)
So I shook that tree as har-r-d as I could (Pretend to shake tree)
Down came the apples, mmm, they were good!!!! (Rub tummy)
 


Sung to: "Yankee Doodle"
Peel an apple, cut it up,
Cook it in a pot.
When you taste it you will find
It's applesauce you've got!
 


Here we go round the apple tree,
The apple tree, the apple tree,
Here we go round the apple tree
So early in the morning.
This is the way we...
...climb the ladder
...pick the apples
...wash the apples
...peel the apples
...cook the apples
 

Sung to: "Boom! Boom! Ain't It Great to Be Crazy?"
Yum! Yum! Don't you know I love apples?
Yum! Yum! Don't you know I love apples?
Red and green and yellow, too
Yum! Yum! Don't you know I love apples?




Way up high in an apple tree;
I saw two eyes looking at me.
I reached for an apple; it started to squirm, 

Oops! I found a wiggly worm!
That wiggly worm is a friend of mine; 

We eat apples all the time.
I let him crawl back to that tree
 Hey! I see that worm looking at me!
 
 
 Five little apples lying on the floor.
I'll roll one away, and that leaves four.
Four little apples hanging on a tree.
I'll pick one off, and that leaves three.
Three little apples, I know what to do!
I'll put one in my pocket, and that leaves two.
Two little apples sitting in the sun.
I'll pick one up, and that leaves one.
One little apple waiting in my lunch.
I'll eat it up with a crunch, crunch, crunch!
 
 
Look at the apple I have found
(circle hands)
So round and rosy on the ground
We will wash it and cut it in two
Half for me and half for you.
(hold out both hands)

 
(Use real jelly beans or flannel board, 5 colors)
5 little jelly beans
I wish I had more!
I'll eat the (color) one
Now there are four!
4 little jellybeans
Tasty as can be
I'll eat the (color) one
Now there are 3!
3 little jelly beans
Only a few.
I'll eat the (color) one
Now there are 2.
2 little jellybeans
Eating them is fun
I'll eat the (color) one
Now there is one.
1 little jelly bean
The last one for me
I'll eat the (color) one
I'm as happy as can be!
 

Five little gingerbread men in a row
Not going to eat one no, no, no. (shake finger and head side to side)
But they look so sweet from head to toe
Crunch, munch...uh oh!
Continue until...
No little gingerbread men in a row
Wasn't going to eat one, no, no, no
But they looked so sweet that it's sad to tell
Crunch, munch... oh well!
 

Sam the Pizza man put a pizza in a pan,
And he put a lot of sausage on the top. That's good!  
Now I know if he would only 
Add the pepperoni, 
He would have a nice-a pizza!
Serve it hot
I would!!!!!
 
 
(Tune:Row, Row, Row Your Boat)
Roll, roll, roll your dough
Smoothly as can be.
Roll it till it's big and round,
Then add some good toppings.
 
 
You put the oil in the pot and you let it get hot
You put the popcorn in and you start to grin.
Sizzle, sizzle
Sizzle, sizzle
Sizzle, sizzle
Sizzle, sizzle
Sizzle, sizzle
Sizzle, sizzle
POP!
 
 
Pop! Pop! Pop!  (clap)
Put the corn into the the pot,
Pop! Pop! Pop!
Shake and shake it 'til it's hot. (shake)
Pop! Pop! Pop!
Lift the lid and what have you got?
Pop! Pop! Pop!
POPCORN!

 
 Sung to: "Sound Off"
Carrots, beans, and potatoes
Corn and peas and tomatoes
Mix and stir up in a pot.
Smells so good as it gets hot.
Soup's on-1, 2.
Soup's on-3, 4.
1, 2, 3, 4-Let's eat a good treat!
 
 
(Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle)
Carrots, peas, and broccoli,
Vegetables are good for me.
For my snack and in my lunch,
Veggie sticks are great to munch.
Carrots, peas, and broccoli,
Vegetables are good for me.
 
 
I'm round and red,
And juicy too,
Chop me for a salad,
Or dump me in your stew! (tomato)

 

(Sung to: If I Had a Hammer)
If I had a bagel,
I'd eat it in the morning,
I'd eat it in the evening
All over this land
I'd eat it for breakfast
I'd eat it for dinner
I'd eat it with all my friends and sisters and brothers
All, all over this land.
 

A-B-CDE
Watermelon is good for me.
F-G-HIJ
I can eat it everyday.
P-Q-RST
Ripe and very juicy
U-V-WXY
You will like it if you give it a try.
Z-Z-ZZZ
Watermelon is good for me.  (Chant about other fruit)
 
 

Pick up a watermelon, put it in the basket,
Pick up a watermelon, put it in the basket,
Pick up a watermelon, put it in the basket,
Way down yonder in the watermelon patch.

(Strawberry patch,  apple or orange tree, etc)
 
 
Watermelon, Watermelon, 
On the vine, on the vine, 
Sweet and red and juicy, sweet and red and juicy,
Please be mine! Please be mine!

Watermelon, Watermelon,
Thump, thump, thump,
Thump, thump, thump,
I think you are ready- I think you are ready- 
Big and plump! Big and plump!
 
 
 Five big lemons in the bowl
One fell out and started to roll
It bumped off the table and hit my toe
How many lemons in the bowl
1, 2, 3, 4
Four big lemons...
 
 
Bananas are my favorite fruit
(pretend to hold banana)
I eat one every day;
I always take one with me,
(put in pocket)
When I go out to play.
(wave goodbye)
It gives me lots of energy
(make muscle)
To jump around and run,
Bananas are my favorite fruit -
(rub tummy)
To me they're so much fun!

 
 
(Tune: Clementine)
Picked a strawberry,
Picked a strawberry,
That was growing
In the sun,
Then I washed it,
And I ate it,
And I picked another one.

 
 
Sung to: " Farmer in the Dell"
The farmer sows his seeds.
The farmer sows his seeds.
Hi ho the derry-o,
The farmer sows his seeds.
Other verses:
The rain begins to fall...
The sun begins to shine...
The seeds begin to grow.
The plants grow big and tall...
The farmer cuts his corn...
And now the harvest is on....
 
 
 I took a little seed one day
About a month ago.
I put it in a pot of dirt
In hopes that it would grow.

I poured a little water
To make the soil just right.
I set the pot upon the sill
Where the sun would give it light.

I checked the pot most every day,
And turned it once or twice.
With a little care and water
I helped it grow so nice(ly).
 

Peanut butter, peanut butter,
Jelly, jelly.
Peanut butter, peanut butter,
Jelly, jelly.
First you take the peanuts and you
Crush them, crush them.
First you take the peanuts and you
Crush them, crush them.
Then you take the grapes and you
Smash them, smash them.
Then you take the grapes and you
Smash them, smash them.
Then you take the bread and you
Spread it, spread it.
Then you take the bread and you
Spread it, spread it.
Then you take the sandwich and you
Eat it, eat it.
Then you take the sandwich and you
Eat it, eat it.
Peanut butter, peanut butter,
Jelly, jelly.
Peanut butter, peanut butter,
Jelly, jelly.
 
 
Jelly on my head, jelly on my toes
Jelly on my shirt, jelly on my nose
Jelly is my favorite food,
And when I'm in a jelly mood -
I can't ever get enough
Of that yummy, yummy stuff!
 
 
Tune: “On Top of Old Smokey”
Spaghetti, spaghetti, you're wonderful stuff
I love you spaghetti, I can't get enough
You're covered with sauce and you're sprinkled with cheese
Spaghetti, spaghetti, oh, give me some please.
Spaghetti, spaghetti, piled high in a mound
You wiggle, you wriggle, you squiggle around
There's slurpy spaghetti all over my plate
Spaghetti, spaghetti, I think you are great!
 

Mix a pancake,
Stir a pancake,
Pop in it the pan.
Fry the pancake,
Toss the pancake,
Catch it if you can.
 
 
 Sung to: If you're Happy and You Know it
If you like your eggs scrambled,
Clap your hands.
If you like your eggs scrambled,
Clap your hands.
If you like your eggs scrambled,
And it's your favorite way to make them,
f you like your eggs scrambled,
Clap your hands.
Additional verses:
If you like your eggs fried,
Touch your toes.
If you like your eggs hard boiled,
Touch your head
 
 
I am making cookie dough - 
Round and round the beaters go! (arms go round)
Add some flour from a cup (pretend to pour)
Stir and stir the batter up (pretend to stir)
Roll them, and cut them, nice and neat
(roll hands, pretend to cut)
Put them on a cookie sheet (lay out cookies)
Bake them and count them 123 (count with fingers)
And serve them to your friends with tea!
 



Stir a bowl of gingerbread,
(stirring )
Smooth and spicy brown-
Roll it with a rolling pin, 
( roll dough)
Up and up and down.
With a cookie cutter
(cut cookies with cutter)
Make some little men,
Put them in the oven
Until half past ten.
 
 
C is for cookie,
That's good enough for me,
C is for cookie,
That's good enough for me,
C is for cookie,
That's good enough for me.
Cookie, cookie, cookie.
Starts with C!
 
 
(Three Blind Mice)
Cheese, cheese, cheese, we love cheese,
Please, please please, give us cheese,
We like white cheese, oh yes we do,
Orange cheese tastes wonderful too,
Yellow cheese is for me and you,
Oh, give us cheese! (Please)
 
 
 Going on a picnic,
Gotta pack a lunch.
What should we bring to munch, munch, munch?

 (suggest different foods)
Ready for a picnic,
Ready with a lunch,
Now we're ready to munch, munch, munch!

 
 
Fried chicken, watermelon, apple pie,
Do you love picnics? So do I!
Lemonade, root beer, chocolate cake,
Lazy canoe rides along the lake.
Games and singing -- let's square dance!
And don't forget, at picnics, you'll have ANTS!
