Week 8: Grandparents

Tuesday: Grandparents

Song: Let's Go See Our Grandparents (tune - Take Me Out to the Ball Game)

Let's go see our grandparents,
Take us there for a while.
Mommy and Daddy both need a break.

Oh, we want to thank our grandparents
For all the things that they do,
So it's time..to..say you're the best
And that we love you!

Here are grandma's glasses.

(fold hands and place in lap)

And this is the way he folds his arms,
Just like that.

Over the hill and far away
The mother duck said Quack, Quack come back
Three little ducks came running back
Three little ducks went out to play
Over the hill and far away
The mother duck said Quack, Quack come back
Two little ducks came running back
Two little ducks went out to play
Over the hill and far away
The mother duck said Quack, Quack come back
One little duck came running back
One little duck went out to play
Over the hill and far away
The mother duck said Quack,Quack come back

Sad mother duck went out one day
Over the hill and far away

Five little ducks came running back (sing Quickly)
