11. I’m a Little Teapot By George Harold Sanders I’m a little teapot Short and stout Here is my handle (one hand on hip) Here is my spout (other arm out straight) When I get all steamed up Hear me shout “Tip me over and pour me out!” (lean over toward spout) I’m a clever teapot, Yes, it’s true Here let me show you What I can do I can change my handle And my spout (switch arm positions) Just tip me over and pour me out! (lean over toward spout)

Sarah Josepha Hale Mary had a little lamb, Little lamb, little lamb, Mary had a little lamb, Its fleece was white as snow, And every where that Mary went, Mary went, Mary went, Everywhere that Mary went, The lamb was sure to go; He followed her to school one day, School one day, school one day, He followed her to school one day, Which was against the rule; It made the children laugh and play, Laugh and play, laugh and play, It made the children laugh and play, To see a lamb at school, And so the teacher turned him out, Turned him out, turned him out, So the teacher turned him out, But still he lingered near, And waited patiently about, Patiently about, patiently about, Waited patiently about, Till Mary did appear; “Why does the lamb love Mary so? Mary so, Mary so, Why does the lamb love Mary so?” The eager children cried; “Why Mary loves the lamb, you know, Lamb you know, lamb you know, Why Mary loves the lamb, you know” The teacher did reply; Mary had a little lamb, Little lamb, little lamb, Mary had a little lamb, Its fleece was white as snow. 30. Monday’s Child By A.E Bray Monday’s child is fair of face, Tuesday’s child is full of grace, Wednesday’s child is full of woe, Thursday’s child has far to go. Friday’s child is loving and giving, Saturday’s child works hard for a living, And the child that is born on the Sabbath Day, Is bonny and blithe and good and gay.
