This activity will
bring back fond memories of Romper Room!
First, take an old picture frame and spray paint it gold or silver. Glue on “jewels” or glitter. Hold it in front of your face as you
sing this song to the tune of “Go In and Out My Window.”
I’m
looking through my window.
I’m
looking through my window.
I’m
looking through my window,
And
I see my friend (first child’s name).
First child takes
the picture frame and looks through it as you sing the song. The first child names a second friend
and passes the frame to him or her.
The song continues until everyone has had a turn. (You can also cut
a frame from cardboard and use it to sing the song.)
I Have a Friend
Here’s another
great name song. Make a train by
standing in a line and placing your hands on the person’s shoulders in front of
you. As you “chug” around the room
sing this song using children’s names.
The tune is “Little Liza Jane.”
I
have a friend that you all know
and
child’s name is his/her name.
I
have a friend that you all know
And
child’s name is his/her name.
Get
on board, child’s name.
Get on board, child’s name.
Get on board, child’s name.
There’s room for many a more.
*I have a free YouTube video you can watch where I sing these name songs!
