Dragon Hunt
Going on a dragon hunt. (slap thighs)
And I'm not afraid. (point to self)
There's a tall mountain. (look with hand over eyes)
Can't go under it. (move hand down)
Can't go around it. (move hand around)
Guess I'll go over it. (reach hands as if climbing)
There's a river. Can't go over it. Can't go under it
Guess I'll swim across it. (move arms as if swimming)
There's some tall grass. Can't go over it Can't go around it
Guess I'll go through it (slap hands up and down in front)
There's a castle! Can't go over it, Can't go under it. Guess I'll go in it.
It's dark and spooky in here (shake)
It's cold in here! (wrap arms around self and shiver)
I feel some scales! I feel see big teeth! OH! It's a Dragon! (scream)
Run out of the castle (slap thighs)
Go through the grass, Swim across the river,
Climb the mountain, Run home (slap thighs)
Open the door, Jump into bed (cover head with arms to hide)
I went on a dinosaur hunt, And I wasn't afraid!
Roar Went the Dragon [Tune: Pop Goes the Weasel ]
In and out the castle gate
the knight chased the dragon.
The knight thought
it twas all in good fun
"Roarrrrr" went the dragon!
The More We Read Together [Tune: The More We Get Together]
The more we read together, together, together,
The more we read together, the better it is!
'Cause reading and singing and talking together,
Is how you learn the six skills for reading by six.
