Wiggle Worms
Here are some worms who are, oh, so sad.
They’ve lost all the wiggles that they once had.
They wonder if you, just for today.
Would lend them your wiggles so they can play
Wiggle them up and wiggle them down (have the children wiggle arms up and down)
Wiggle your worms around and around (wiggle arms around in a circle)
Wiggle them high and wiggle them low (wiggle arms high and wiggle arms low)
Wiggle them fast and wiggle them slow (wiggle arms fast and wiggle arms slow)
Wiggle them over your shoes and your socks (wiggle finger over shoe, and wiggle finger onsock)
Then wiggle them back up to their box (then have children pretend to place their worm in abox on their lap)
Thank you for sharing your wiggles today.
You’ll get them back when it’s your time to play.
Now that your wiggles are all gone from you,
I’ll tell you just what we are going to do.

I’m Ready    tune:  I’m a Little Teapot
Use with a puppet as the children are getting ready to sit at circle. 
I’m a little helper, look at me,
I’m as busy as I can be.
I put away the toys as you can see,
I’m ready for the circle, look at me.

Little Mouse
Use with a finger puppet 
A little mouse (hold up right index finger and wiggle)
Lived quietly in his hole.
A little mouse (make a hole with left hand and stick the right finger in it)lived quietly in his hole.
When all was as quiet,
As quiet as could be-Sh! Sh! Sh!
Out popped he!  (pull out right finger and wiggle) 
You can make a bunny or a caterpillar.

Molly’s Mystery Bag?
Tune:  Mary Had a Little Lamb
Use with a puppet 
Molly has a mystery bag,
Mystery bag, mystery bag
.Molly  has a mystery bag,
I wonder what’s inside? 
She will give us all a clue,
All a clue, all a clue.
She will give us all a clue,
To help guess what’s inside. 
We will have to make a guess,
Make a guess, make a guess.
We will have to make a guess,
To find out what’s inside.
