RHYME - A TREE IS A HOME

A tree may be a home for bird (flap arms like a bird)
A tree may be a home for bee (buzz your hand around)
A tree may be a home for snake (slithering snake)
A tree may be a home for monkey (swing your arms)
Hmmm. I wonder if a tree would make a good home for me? (point to self)

ROW, ROW, ROW YOUR BOAT

Row, row, row your boat (paddle motion)
gently down the stream
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream

Rock, rock, rock your boat (rock side to side)
gently down the stream
If you see an crocodile,
don’t forget to scream (“Ahhhh!”)

Row, row, row your boat (paddle motion)
gently to the shore
If you see a lion there,
don’t forget to roar (“Rawwwwr!”)
