Kapokapo [Twinkle, twinkle, little star]

The Ladybird
Use your fingers to walk up and down body parts as described
The ladybird crawls up your arm
And sits upon your nose.
The ladybird crawls down your tummy
And sits upon your toes
Little butterfly
I saw a butterfly sitting on my thumb
She flew away and then there were none,
Butterfly, butterfly fly fly away,
Butterfly, butterfly happy all day
The little green frog
Galump went the little green frog one day (jumping motion)
Galump went the little green frog
Galump went the little green frog one day
and his eyes went glub, glub, glub! (close and open fingers on thumb)
and we all know frogs go ladidah di dah (sway hands from side to side)
ladidah di dah

we all know frogs go ladidah di dah

This little piggy went to market
This little piggy stayed home
This little piggy had roast beef
This little piggy had none
And this little piggy cried wee, wee, wee
All the way home
