Here are the songs and rhymes we used:
Teddy Bear Songs and Rhymes:
Cinnamon Bear
https://www.preschooleducation.com/stbear.shtml
Cinnamon, Cinnamon, Cinnamon Bear
Sitting on a kitchen chair.
Cinnamon sugar in a shaker.
Shake, shake, shake it
Like a baker.
Sprinkle it on buttered toast.
It’s the treat
You’ll love the most.
Cinnamon, Cinnamon, Cinnamon Bear,
Do you think that we may share?

Hug Your Bear

Tune: Row Row Row Your Boat
Hug, hug, hug your bear
Squeeze him very tight
Hold him high, help him fly
Then hug with all your might.

Five Little Teddy Bears
Tune: Five Green and Speckled Frogs
A Rhyme by Miss Krissy
Five little teddy bears, sat on the hallway stairs
Eating some honey from a jar *Yum Yum*
One jumped down to the floor, trying to find some more
Now there are four little teddy bears.
Four, Three, Two, One, None

Round and round the garden
(draw circle on child’s tummy)
Goes the teddy bear.
One step, two steps…
(walk your fingers up child’s chest)
Tickle ‘em under there!
(tickle under child’s chin)

Up and Down in My Little Red Wagon
Adapted from: http://www.ala.org/alsc/issuesadv/borntoread/babyrhymesgames
Up and down in my little red wagon
Up and down in my little red wagon
Up and down in my little red wagon… Going to Storytime
Lost my wheel and the axel’s draggin’
Lost my wheel and the axel’s draggin’
Lost my wheel and the axel’s draggin’… Going to Storytime
Hammer the wheel back on the wagon
Hammer the wheel back on the wagon
Hammer the wheel back on the wagon… Going to Storytime
Up and down in my little red wagon
Up and down in my little red wagon
Up and down in my little red wagon… Going to Storytime

Ending Songs:
Elevator Song
Tune: Do Your Ears Hang Low?
Oh, the city is great and the city is grand
There are lots of tall buildings
On a little piece of land
We live way up on the fifty-seventh floor
And this is what we do
When we go out the door!
Take the elevator up, take the elevator down (3 x)
Then we turn around!
