Closing Song/Rhyme
"Shake Your Sillies Out" (Raffi) - w/egg shakers
Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes

Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes

Head and shoulders, knees and toes,
Knees and toes, knees and toes.
Head and shoulders, knees and toes,
Hands up high, and wave bye-bye.

This is the regular closing rhyme used in all our baby programmes.

Your Name is Millie

This is known as the "Millie" song, since the baby doll we use during the programme is called Millie. We sing to each child in turn (including ours ;)

Your name is [insert child's name]
That's your name;
Your name is [insert child's name]
Always the same.

This is the opening song/rhyme used during all our baby programmes.
