Song:
The farmer, the farmer, the farmer is sowing his seed
in the field he is sowing his seed
Verse:
Dig a little hole
Plant a little seed
Pour a little water
Pull a little weed
Chase a little bug
Hey ho, there he goes
Give a little sunshine
Grow a little rose
Verse:
A caterpillar climbed up
A tall, tall tree
Crawled under a leaf
and fell asleep.
All winter long, he slept in his cocoon bed
Till lady spring came along and said:
Wake up! Wake up sleepyhead!
Rise out of your dreaming bed.
The caterpillar awoke
That sunshiny day
And lo, he was a butterfly
and he flew away.
High in the sky, the butterfly could see
something lying in the grass
as still as still could be.
(One child goes into the middle of the circle and curls up like a hare.)
Song:
Here’s a little hare
He’s fast asleep
Fast asleep…
Little hare, oh are you ill?
That you lie so quiet and still?
Hop little hare, hop little hare!
Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop everywhere. (The child hops and chooses a different “hare” by lightly tapping them on the feet).
Song:
Piper, piper, play your happy music
Singing, singing, we will follow on.
Dancing through the daytime
Singing until May-time
Sing-song, spring-song,
The winter’s past and gone!
