Wee Willie Winkie

Wee Willie Winkie runs through town (run fingers across your palm)

Upstairs (run fingers up arm)

Downstairs, (run down arm)

in his nightgown.

Rapping at the window (knock at the window)

Trying at the lock (turn hand like opening a lock)

Are the children all in bed? (shrug shoulders asking a question)

For now it’s 8 o’clock. (tap “watch” on wrist)

 

Whole Bed Movements (Bahamas Pajamas)

Countdown from 5 in bed and little one said roll over…

One in the bed and he turned and said “I’ve got the whole bed to myself” (point to self)  

Pillows to myself (fold hands like sleeping on a pillow)  

Electric Blanket: wrap arms around you and snuggle like in a blanket  

Remote Control: Click the remote

 

Time for Bed

Time for bed, time for bed
Fluff up the pillow,
Lay down your head.
Pull up the blanket,
Tuck it in tight.
Close your eyes
And sleep all night.


(make fluffing motions with hands)
(palms together, hands to side of face)
(pull imaginary blanket up to chin)
(arms down tightly against sides)
(close eyes)
(snore)
