Doing Dishes

Wash the dishes,
wipe the dishes
Ring the bell for tea.
Three good wishes,
three good kisses,
I will give to thee.
Wonderland Tea
Tune: Five Little Ducks
A Rhyme by Miss Krissy
Five little teacups at a Wonderland tea.
Some for you and some for me.
I took a sip then drank it up
The mad hatter called out for a clean cup!
Four…Three…Two…
One little teacup at a Wonderland tea.
Some for you and some for me.
I took a sip then drank it up
Now the mad hatter’s out of clean cups!
Teddy Bear Tea Party

Teddy and his friends are coming to tea
How many are coming? Now let me see…
One bear at my party. Let’s eat hearty
Please pour the pot while it’s still hot
Two…Three…
Patty Cake
Traditional Rhyme
Pat-a-cake, pat-a cake, baker’s man,
Bake me a cake just as fast as you can.
Pat it and prick it, and mark it with B.
And put it in the oven for baby and me.
Patty-cake, patty-cake, baker’s feet!
Bake me a cake that’s good to eat.
Pat it and roll it and mark it real neat
Then put it in the oven for a tasty treat!
Polly Put the Kettle On
Traditional Rhyme
Polly put the kettle on,
Polly put the kettle on,
Polly put the kettle on,
We’ll all have tea.
Sukey take it off again,
Sukey take it off again,
Sukey take it off again,
They’ve all gone away.

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!

Peek-a-boo!
Where is Baby? …. Peekaboo
