Come Out & Play

The sun came out for you today
It’s asking you to come out & play
The birds in the sky are singing your song
Come out, come out, it’s been too long

Chorus
Won’t you come out and hug a tree
Spread your wings, ﬂy like a bee
Rest your nose on the prettiest ﬂower
Take in it’s fragrant power and play The bugs and worms call out your name
Hide and seek is their favorite game
Butterﬂies want to play tag, too
It’s fun, it’s fun, they’re asking you

Chorus

Bridge
Lie on the lawn, gaze at the sky
Make fun shapes as clouds pass by The sun came out for you today
It’s asking you to come out & play
The birds in the sky are singing your song
Come out, come out, it’s been too long

Chorus

Bean Bag Song

Look at me and what do you see? I’m a kid with a bean baggie
It’s amazing, yes, it’s true
Look and see what I can do
As I balance it on my hand

Chorus
It’s a balancing act, it’s a fact It’s a balancing act, it’s a fact

Look at me and what do you see? I’m a kid with a bean baggie
It’s amazing, yes, it’s true
Look and see what I can do

As I balance it on my knee

Chorus

(Speaking)
OK, kids, where would you like to balance your bean bags next? Your hand? Great idea!
How about your elbow? Oh, nice job!
Oh, yes, your back! You can be an airplane!
Beautiful!

Look at me and what do you see? I’m a kid with a bean baggie
It’s amazing, yes, it’s true
Look and see what I can do
As I balance it on my shoe

Chorus

(Speaking)
You did an amazing job balancing!
So here’s what I want us all to do right now Everybody take a bow! Wow! Nice job balancing!

Silly & Crazy

I’m ﬁlled with so much energy, can’t hold it in at all I’m going c-c-crazy, b-b-bouncing oﬀ the wall Now if you feel like me you’d have to d-d-do it, too Let’s all get up and dance going crazy, me and you

Chorus
Dancing c-c-c-crazy
Crazy, crazy, crazy
Singing silly & crazy
Let’s get c-c-c-c-c-c-c-crazy!

I wanna move my hands and feet and let it all hang out When I’m going c-c-crazy all I wanna do it shout
They say that there’s a time and place for every little thing

I’m so-so-so-so happy I’ve got time to dance and sing

Chorus

Bridge
I just can’t seem to stop! Going crazy and over the top!

I just can’t seem to stop! Going crazy and over the top! I just can’t seem to stop! Going crazy and over the top!

Monkey Mind

I want to be a monkey, swinging from the trees
Eating sweet bananas and swiping at the bees
Or I could be that bumblebee zipping thru the air
Gathering some nectar from ﬂowers everywhere
And now, in my mind I see…oh, oh…oh, oh

A pretty daisy I would make, swaying to and fro In a ﬁeld of ﬂowers where horses like to go
A horse is what I choose to be galloping so free In the tall, lush green grass where birds ﬂy over me
And now, in my mind I see…in my mind I see…

Bridge
What do I see? Hmmm…
If you were an animal, what animal would you be?
Or an insect, or a colorful ﬂower!
Let’s use our beautiful minds, our imagination
And pretend to be anything we want to be!

I’m an eagle soaring, my wings stretched far and wide

Above the deep, blue ocean while dolphins ride the tide I’d make a dashing dolphin, swimming in the sea

Leaping over tall waves and singing happily
And now, I’m back to being me…oh oh, oh oh…
I’m back to being me!

Birdie’s New Song

I am Birdie, tweet tweedle lee dee And sometimes I don’t feel happy
I don’t feel better when I frown
So what’s bird to do when they’re down

Chorus
I sing a new song!
I sing to get happy, I sing to be strong I sing when I need to, sing a new song I sing a new song!

The same sad story is no fun Poor little me is not a good one I’m bigger and I’m better you see And I can choose who I want to be

Chorus

I am Birdie, I may be small
But when I’m brave I feel so tall I am Birdie, tweet tweedle lee dee And I am so glad to be me

Hot Glue Gun

Got a hot glue gun, Mama taught me how to use it

Got a hot glue gun now I’m not afraid to use it

With a hot glue gun rules are number one
So with Mama’s help I’m ready for fun
Wait ‘till you see what I make with my hot glue gun

Got buttons, bows and bags of macaroni
Got sequins yarn and shells of abalone
Go bottle caps and tiny toothpicks
Fancy feathers and popsicle sticks
Wait ‘till you see what I make with my hot glue gun

Bridge

On a cold and rainy day There is no better way to play Making crafts and having fun With my hot glue gun, yeah!

Got a hot glue gun, Mama taught me how to use it

Got a hot glue gun now I’m not afraid to use it

With a hot glue gun rules are number one
So with Mama’s help I’m ready for fun

Wait ‘till you see what I make with my hot glue gun

I Choose Happy

I got a bounce in my step and I’ve never felt better

I got a smile on my face no matter what the weather I got a song in my heart and hum. It while I play
I think of all the good things heading up my way
‘Cause everyday it’s all up to me

Chorus
I Choose Happy it looks good on me
I choose joy and I am free…whoa, whoa Laughter, it feels so right
And my world is pure delight
I Choose Happy!

(Speaking)
We make choices every day long and how we choose to feel is one of them So today let’s choose to be happy
I like to do things that make me happy
What are some of the things that you choose to do to make you happy? How about coloring? Or, riding your bike? Playing ball or dancing? Smiling, yes! Smiling always makes me happy
Let’s all smile together right now!

I give a wave to someone that I would like to meet And then we share a laugh and now I feel complete I’ve got a heart full of love and rainbow skies above And you are love, too, so let it shine on thru
‘Cause everyday it’s all up to me

Chorus

Bright Light

I am a bright light, this I know
I am a bright light, see me glow
There is only goodness deep inside of me When I close my eyes that is what I see

(Speaking)
Alright, let’s do it again
But this time let’s sing it to a friend

You are a bright light, this I know
You are a bright light, I see you glow There is only goodness deep inside of you I see it in your eyes and smile that it is true

(Speaking)
Wow, that was really great, let’s all sing together! Third verse same as the ﬁrst!

I am a bright light, this I know
I am a bright light, see me glow
There is only goodness deep inside of me When I close my eyes that is what I see

You’re Awesome

I’ve got a secret, it’s your secret, too Lean in closer, I’ll tell it to you
