Summer Reading "extras" from Patti Sinclair

These songs are not in the manual. Our Summer Reading Workshop presenter, Patti Sinclair, was kind enough to provide these instructions.  Enjoy!

A Sailor Went to Sea (whenever you say the word “sea,” make waves with hands; whenever you say the word “see,” hold your hand over your eyes to see)

A sailor went to sea, sea, sea

To see what (s)he could see, see, see

But all that (s)he could see, see, see

Was the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea!

My Bonny (stand or sit on every ‘b’ word)

My Bonny lies over the ocean

My Bonny lies over the sea

My Bonny lies over the ocean

So bring back my Bonny to me

Bring back

Bring back

Oh, bring back my Bonny to me, to me!

Bring back

Bring back

Oh, bring back my Bonny to me!

My Bottom (variation of “My Bonny” from Alaska; stand or sit on very ‘b’ word)

My bottom was bit by a black bear

My bottom was bit by a bear

My bottom was bit by a black bear

Won’t you bandage my boo boo for me

Bandage

Bandage

Won’t you bandage my boo boo for me for me

Bandage

Bandage

Won’t you bandage my boo boo for me
