Here Is The Barn (with hand movements)
Here is the barn
(form a roof shape with your hands)
Where I like to go
(Walk in place)
It’s as tall as a tree
(Point up overhead)
And cozy, you know
(Hug body with arms)
Here is the barn,
(Make a roof shape with your hands)
I’ll go there with you
(Walk in place)
To pet a sweet lamb
(Pretend to pet a lamb)
And cuddle it, too!
(Pretend to hug a lamb)
The Higgy-Piggy
You put your right hoof in;
You put your right hoof out;
You put your right hoof in and
you shake it all about.
You do the Higgy-Piggy,
And you turn yourself around,
That’s what it’s all about!
Oink!
Other Verses:

You put your right hamhock (hip) in…
You put your left ham hock in….
You put your snout in….
You put your curly tail in…
The Rabbits (with hand movements)
A family of rabbits lived under a tree;
(close right hand and hide it under left arm)
A father, a mother, and babies three.
(Hold up thumb, then fingers in succession)
Sometimes the bunnies would sleep all day;
(Make fist)
But when night came, they liked to play.
(Wiggle fingers)
Out of the hole, they’d creep, creep, creep.
(Move fingers in a creeping motion)
While the birds in the trees were all asleep,
(Rest face on hands, place palms together)
Then the bunnies would scamper about and run…
(Wiggle fingers)
Uphill, downhill! Oh, what fun!
(Move fingers vigorously)
But when the mother said, “It’s time to rest,”
(Hold up middle finger)
Pop! They would hurry
(Clap hands after “pop”)
Right back to their nest!
(Hide hand under arm)
