Rhythms and Rhymes of Playtime

Ok Children...

Join hands in the circle of fun, where the games of yesterday meet the laughter of today

"

Verse 1:

Circle up, friends, let’s start with a beat

Patty Cake, Patty Cake, baker's man's treat

Hands clap, fingers snap, in a rhythmic parade

Creating a symphony where memories are made

Hook:

Clap high, clap low, join our playful spree

From "A Sailor Went to Sea" to the echoing "Pease Porridge Hot," we're free!

Verse 2:

Next in the game, let's chant with glee

Miss Mary Mack, all dressed in black, with silver buttons all down her back

She asks for fifty cents to see the elephants jump over the fence

They soar so high, reach the sky, and we laugh till it makes no sense!

Hook:

Join the beat, take a seat, in our rhythmical band

From "Stella Ella Ola" to the beats we command

Verse 3:

Now let's twist and shout with "I Had a Little Turtle,"

Tiny Tim swam through soap, in the bath he did hurtle

Laughing as the bubbles rise, watch him pop and spin

Clap along, sing the song, let the water games begin!

Hook:

Hands weave, stories conceive

In our clap and play, what we achieve

Erse 4:

"Queenie, Queenie, who's got the ball?

"

Keep your eyes sharp, don’t let it fall

Pass it quick, left and right, don’t get caught

In our circle, be swift, as the ball is sought

Hook:

Clap to the left, clap to the right

In our hand game world, keep the ball out of sight

Verse 5:

Time for "Double, Double, This, This,"

Double the fun with every wish

This, that, these, and those

Clap them loud, as our circle grows

Hook:

From simple claps to a complex flow

In our arena of play, watch us glow

Verse 6:

"Slide," one hand over the other, then "Snap!

",

It’s more than a game, it’s a rhythmic map

Slide into fun, snap out the beat

In our hand-clapping game, we never admit defeat

Hook:

Rhythm’s our language, play is our art

Join us in games that come from the heart

Verse 7:

As twilight calls, and we end our spree

Remember these games, how fun they can be

"Stella Ella Ola," and a clap clap clap

These games of ours, bridging the gap

Outro:

The sun sets on our clapping land

But we’ll return to play, hand in hand

Keep the rhythms, keep the rhymes

In our hearts, till the next playtime
