Virtual Groovy Tots

6/26/2020

Our Groovy Tots program is a music and movement based program designed for children aged one to two years and an adult caregiver.

Due to COVID-19, we had to adapt this program to a virtual format. We pre-recorded the program and it was posted on our library's social media (You Tube and Facebook page).

The Plan

Hello Song: Wake Up Feet
from Jbrary

Wake up feet, wake up feet (touch feet)
Wake up feet and wiggle, wiggle, wiggle (touch & wiggle feet)
Wake up feet, wake up feet (touch feet)
Wake up and wiggle in the morning. (wiggle feet)

Wake up hands, wake up hands (touch hands)
Wake up hands and wiggle, wiggle, wiggle (touch & wiggle hands)
Wake up hands, wake up hands (touch hands)
Wake up and wiggle in the morning. (wiggle hands)

Wake up ears, wake up ears (touch ears)
Wake up ears and wiggle, wiggle, wiggle (touch & wiggle ears)
Wake up ears, wake up ears (touch ears)
Wake up and wiggle in the morning. (wiggle ears)

A Bouncing We Will Go
to the tune of “The Farmer in the Dell”

A bouncing we will go
A bouncing we will go,
Hi-ho the derry-o!
A bouncing we will go. (sing 2x)

A rocking we will go
a rocking we will go,
Hi-ho the derry-o!
A rocking we will go. (sing 2x)

A swaying we will go,
a swaying we will go,
Hi-ho the derry-o!
A swaying we will go. (sing 2x)

A flying we will go,
a flying we will go,
Hi-ho the derry-o!
A flying we will go. (sing 2x)

Did You Ever See a Stuffie?
To the tune of “Did You Ever See a Lassie?”

Did you ever see a stuffie,
A stuffie, a stuffie?
Did you ever see a stuffie,
go this way and that?    (rock from side to side)
Go this way and that way,
And this way and that way. (rock from side to side)
Did you ever see a stuffie,
go this way and that?

Did you ever see a stuffie,
A stuffie, a stuffie?
Did you ever see a stuffie,
go this way and that?    (lean forward and backward)
Go this way and that way,
And this way and that way. (lean forward and backward)
Did you ever see a stuffie,
go this way and that?

Itsy Bitsy Spider

The itsy bitsy spider crawled up the water spout.
Down came the rain, and washed the spider out.
Out came the sun, and dried up all the rain,
and the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again

"Drums" (Plastic Bowls)

We Bang Our Drums Like This
To the tune of “The Farmer in the Dell”

(LOUD) We bang our drums like this
We bang our drums like this
Hi-ho! The derry-oh!
We bang our drums like this
