(Tune: If you're happy and you know it)
If you love your Gram and know it blow a kiss

SONG: DOWN ON GRANDPA’S FARM
(I used this version)
We’re on our way, we’re on our way
On our way to Grandpa’s farm
We’re on our way, we’re on our way
On our way to Grandpa’s farm
Down on Grandpa’s farm,
there is a big, brown Cow
Down on Grandpa’s farm,
there is a big, brown cow
The cow, she makes a sound like this: MOO!
The cow, she makes a sound like this: MOO!
…there is a little, red hen
…there is a little, white sheep
…there is a big, black dog
…there is a big, brown horse

Do It For Grandma Song
Sung to the Tune of Did You Ever See a Lassie
Let’s clap our hands for Grandma,
for Grandma, for Grandma,
Let’s clap our hands for grandma,
Let’s clap them this way.
Clap this way and that way,
Clap this way and that way,
Let’s clap our hands for Grandma
Let’s clap them this way.
Have the children do the proper actions. Use these other actions also: Let’s stomp our feet, Let’s nod our heads, etc.
Fingerplay Grandma’s Spectacles
(good for quieting down)
These are grandmother’s spectacles, (makes circles around eyes with fingers)
This is grandmother’s hat.(use both hands and cup on head)
This is the way she folds her hands, (fold hands)
And puts them on her lap.(put hands in lap)
These are Grandpa’s spectacles
This is Grandpa’s hat
Here’s the way he folds his arms And THAT IS THAT!
