Mrs. O'Grady: Days ofthe Week Song/Activity

Another great camp song!

The days of the week must be sung with one breath, Repeat the song as 1 "week" 2 "weeks" 3, and so on. Students will stand up and sing till they run out of breath.

Mrs O'Grady,
She was a lady
She had a daughter who I adored
I used to date her,
I mean the daughter!

There are seven days, There are seven days,
There are seven days in the week!
There are seven days, There are seven days,
There are seven days in the week!
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday Friday, Saturday
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday Friday, Saturday

What a Tall Tower

(to the tune of the camp song --a pizza hut! a pizza hut! kentucky frid chicken and a pizza hut! MCDONALDS MCDONALDS! kentucky fried chicken and a pizza hut! ) once they get the hang of it, sing it in a round!
I changed the words to this:

A tall tower!
A tall tower!
What-a what-a what-a
What a tall tower!

A tall tower!
A tall tower!
What-a what-a what-a
What a tall tower!

A cute cat!
A cute cat!
What-a what-a what-a
What a tall tower!

Way Up in The Sky!

a favorite camp song...
This song uses a lot of prepositions, good for learning Right & Left; and is a great way to start a morning class.
I start by drawing a picture on the board.
Here's a paintbrush example of what I would draw:

I have a dialogue with the kids as I draw.
What is UP here? (the sky!)
What is IN the Sky? (mommy bird!) (the bright sun!)
What is this? ( It is a tree!)
What is IN the tree? (a nest!)
What is IN the nest? (baby birds!)

There is a tune, but it can also be done as a chant instead.
Lyrics:

Waaaaay UP IN THE SKY
the little birds fly
while down in the nest,
the baby birds rest

with a wing on the left (tweet!)
and a wing on the right (tweet!)
the little birds sleep.....all through the night
shhhhhh they are sleeping!

shout the next part
theeeeeee BRIGHT SUN COMES UP!
the dew falls away!
good morning! good morning!
the little birds say.
