Clean Up Song
I met a little dusty gnome
Who says it’s time to clean our home
Clean up time, clean up time,
Time to clean our home.
This goes here; That goes there,
We have tasks we all can share.
Helping hands; walking feet,
This is how we keep it nice and neat.
Clean up time, clean up time,
Time to clean our home.
Lighting the Candle
Light Fairies, come to our table
Bring your golden light.
And the fire fairies come,
bringing golden light from the sun.
(We also sign this at bedtime when we light the candles before reading our story)
Preparing the be Served Food at the Table
Show us that you're ready.
Open, shut them, open, shut them
Give a little clap, clap, clap,
Fold them in your lap, lap, lap.
And roll them, roll them,
Roll them back around,
Do not make a sound.
Hands together, hands apart, join our hands we're ready to start.
Welcome, welcome, welcome to our table.
Blessing on the Food
Give thanks to Mother Earth.
Give thanks to Father Sun.
Give thank to bees and Flowers in the Garden
and to the Mother and the Father who are one.
or
Blessings on the blossoms,
Blessings on the roots,
Blessings on the stems and leaves,
Blessings on my fruit (or soup)
Morning Verse
Good morning, good morning, good morning to you.

Good morning, dear sun.
Good morning, dear rocks
And the flowers, every one.
Good morning, dear bees
And the birds in the trees.
Good morning to you
And good morning to me!

Winter Songs
I Built a Snowman
I built a little snowman. (make large circle with arms)
He had a carrot nose (point to nose)
Along came a bunny (hold up to bent fingers)
And what do you suppose? (shrug)
That hungry little bunny, (make bunny again)
Looking for his lunch, (hop bunny around)
Ate the snowman's nose. (pretend bunny is eating nose)
Nibble! Nibble! Crunch! (pretend to be eating a carrot)
I'm a Little Snowman
I'm a little snowman short and fat.
Here are my buttons, here is my hat.
When the sun comes out, I cannot play.
I just slowly melt away!
I'm melting, I'm melting!
Scoop the snow back up.
Our Goodnight Blessing before bed:
Bless my pillow, Bless my bed
Bless me too from toes to head
Bless the earth, Bless the sun, Bless the air
Bless the children everywhere.
There are also some others that we sing for Michealmas and Halloween, but I cannot remember their lyircs right now. I just wanted to have some of them written down for the girls to keep.
