Name song

Name Song

(tune of b-i-n-g-o)

I know a boy he has a name

and Alex is his name-oh!

A-L-E-X, A-L-E-X, A-L-E-X

and Alex is his name oh!

Use your child's name to sing this song.  You might have to be creative with some names, but ALL names are possible!  I have come across some short and long names that are challenging.  The children love to hear their name in a song!

I'm a Turtle

(to the tune of "I'm a Little Tea Pot")

I'm a little turtle,

I crawl so slow,

And carry my house

Wherever I go.

When I get tired

I pull in my head,

My legs and my tail,

And go to bed!
