Five Hats
One little kid on a sunny day, Put on her hat and went out to play.
Two little kids heard the singing of a lark, Put on their hats and went to the park.
Three little kids when the sky was blue, Put on their hats and went to the zoo.
Four little kids by the kitchen door, Put on their hats and went to the store.
Five little kids on a sunny day, Nodded their heads and went out to playModified from source
Silly Hat Song [ tune: This Old Man ]
On my head, I wear my hat.
It is such a silly hat
That my head will wiggle waggle to and fro
Where else can my silly hat go?
[Repeat using foot, elbow and knee.]
