Touch your nose

Tune: Mulberry Bush

Touch your nose, touch your chin
That’s the way this game begins
Touch your eyes, touch your knees
Now pretend you feel a breeze.

Touch your hair, touch one ear,
Touch your two red lips right here.
Touch your elbows where they bend,
That’s the way this touch game ends.

Trit trot to Boston

Trit trot to Lyn
Watch out babies
Or you’ll fall in

Twinkle Twinkle

Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
