Leipreachan ina Shui faoin gcrann

Bhi leipreachan ina shui faoin gcrann
Ina shui faoin gcrann, ina shui faoin gcrann.
Bhi leipreachan ina shui faoin gcrann,
Is e ag deisiu brogai

Oro mo dhaideo, oro mo dhaideo,
Oro mo dhaideo, oro ro.

Bhi casur ina lamh aige, in lamh aige, ina lamh aige.
Bhi casur in a lamh aige, is e ag deisiu brogai.

Oro mo dhaideo, oro mo dhaideo,
Oro mo dhaideo, oro ro.

Bhi cota ar a dhroim aige, ar a dhroim aige, ar a dhroim aige.

bhi cota ar a dhroim aige, is e ag deisiu brogai.

Oro mo dhaideo, oro mo dhaideo,
Oro mo dhaideo, oro ro.

The Run-Away Train

The runaway train came down the track and she blew,
The runaway train came down the track and she blew,
The runaway train came down the track, her whistle wide and her throttle back,
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew. 

  

The engineer said the train must halt and she blew,
The engineer said the train must halt and she blew,
The engineer said the train must halt -- he said it was all the fireman's fault,
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew. 

  

The fireman said he rang the bell and she blew,
The fireman said he rang the bell and she blew,
The fireman said he rang the bell -- the engineer said "Well you couldn't tell!"
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew.

The runaway train went over the hill and she blew,
The runaway train went over the hill and she blew,
The runaway train went over the hill and the last we heard she was going still,
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew.

Clap Your Hands and Wiggle Your Fingers

Clap your hands and wiggle your fingers.
Clap your hands and wiggle your fingers.
Clap your hands and wiggle your fingers.
Now we've made a pattern.

Stamp your feet and slap your belly.
Stamp your feet and slap your belly.
Stamp your feet and slap your belly.
Now we've made a pattern.

Shake your arms and pull your ears.
Shake your arms and pull your ears.
Shake your arms and pull your ears.
Now we've made a pattern.

Open-Shut Them

Rhyme:

Open-shut them, 
Open-shut them,    (open and shut your fingers)
Give a little clap.

Open-shut them,
Open-shut them,
Put them on your lap.

Creep them, creep them       (creep your fingers up your body to your chin)
Creep them, creep 
Up to your little chin.

Open wide your little mouth,
But do not let them in!

Raindrops

Here's a little rhyme we are learning.

Raindrops glisten,
Raindrops sparkle,
Raindrops fall and crash.

See them glimmer,
See them shimmer,
See them fall and splash.

Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes (Ceann, Gualainn, Gluin is Cos)

We are learning the Irish version:



Ceann, gualainn, gluin is cos.

Gluin is cos

Ceann, gualainn, gluin is cos.

Gluin is cos

Agus suile, cluasa, beal agus sron.

Ceann, gualainn, gluin is cos

Gluin is cos.

Mrs White

Here's a fun song to help the children to remember my name!

Mrs White had a firight

In the middle of the night

She saw a ghost, eating toast

Halfway up a lamppost.

Ta me i mo shuigh ar an gcathaoir

Ta me i mo shuigh ar an gcathaoir

Ta me i mo sheasamh aris

Ta me i mo shuigh ar an gcathaoir

Ag feachaint ar an teilifis

Seas suas, is suigh sios,

Seas suas is suigh sios

Is lig do scith

Seas suas is suigh sios

Seas suas is suigh sios aris.

Six Little Ducks

 Six little ducks that I once knew,
Fat ones, skinny ones, fair ones too.
But the one little duck with the feather on his back,
He ruled the others with his quack, quack, quack,
Quack, quack, quack, Quack, quack, quack.

He ruled the others with his quack, quack, quack.

Down to the river they would go,

Wibble wobble, wibble wobble to and fro

But the one little duck with the feather on his back,

He ruled the others with his quack, quack, quack,

Quack, quack, quack, Quack, quack, quack.
He ruled the others with his quack, quack, quack.

Back from the river they would come.
Wibble wobble, wibble wobble ho hum hum.
But the one little duck with the feather on his back,
He ruled the others with his quack, quack, quack,
Quack, quack, quack, Quack, quack, quack.
He ruled the others with his quack, quack, quack.

Slap the Sillies Out

We're gonna slap, slap, slap the sillies out
Slap, slap, slap the sillies out
Slap, slap, slap the sillies out
Wiggle the wobbles away.

We're gonna clap.......

We're gonna click....

We're gonna slap, clap, click the sillies out...

After a bath

After my bath

 I try, try, try

To wipe myself 

Till I’m dry, dry, dry.

Hands to wipe

And fingers and toes

Two wet legs

And a shiny nose.

Just think how much 

Less time I’d take,

If I were a dog 

And could shake, shake, shake!

Five Little Pumpkins

Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate
The first one said "Oh my it's getting late"
The second one said "There are witches in the air"
The third one said "We don't care"
The fourth one said "Let's run and run and run"
The fifth one said "I'm ready for some fun"
Then whoosh went the wind
And out went the light
And the five little pumkins rolled out of sight.

Cnag ar an doras

Cnag ar an doras

Is féach isteach.

Bain díot do hata,

Is siúil isteach.

Suígh ar an stól

Is bí ag ól.

Conas atá tú ar maidin?

Tá sé in am bricfeasta anois

Tá sé in am bricfeasta anois,

Tá sé in am bricfeasta anois,

Tá sé in am bricfeasta anois,

Tagaigí chun bhord.

Calóga agus bainne úr,

Calóga agus bainne úr,

Calóga agus bainne úr,

Tiocfaimid chun bhord.

Aon Dó, Muc is Bó

Aon dó, muc is bó.

Trí ceathair, bróga leathair.

Cúig sé, cupán tae.

Seacht ocht, seanbhean bhocht.

Naoi deich, císte te.

Rollaí pollaí

Rollaí pollaí, rollaí pollaí

Suas suas suas.  (put hands up)

Rollaí pollaí, rollaí pollaí

síos, síos, síos.  (put hands down)

Rollaí pollaí, rollaí pollaí

Amach, amach, amach. (put hands out)

Rollaí pollaí, rollaí pollaí

Isteach, isteach, isteach.  (put hands in)

Mise an traein (song)

Mise an traein, puf puf,puf
Mise an madra, bhuf, bhuf, bhuf.
Mise an bus, bíp, bíp, bíp
Mise an sicín, síp, síp, síp

The Runaway train (song)

The runaway train came down the track and she blew,
The runaway train came down the track and she blew,
The runaway train came down the track, her whistle wide and her throttle back,
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew.

 

The engineer said the train must halt and she blew,
The engineer said the train must halt and she blew,
The engineer said the train must halt -- he said it was all the fireman's fault,
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew.

 

The fireman said he rang the bell and she blew,
The fireman said he rang the bell and she blew,
The fireman said he rang the bell -- the engineer said "Well you couldn't tell!"
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew.

The runaway train went over the hill and she blew,
The runaway train went over the hill and she blew,
The runaway train went over the hill and the last we heard she was going still,
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew.
