The Alphabet Song
A - B - C - D - E - F - G
H - I - J - K - L - M - N - O - P
Q - R - S - T - U and V,
W - X - Y and Z
Now I know my A - B - C's
Next time won't you sing with me? Good Handwriting
If you are wise
You will organize
You handwriting always
To be the right size.
The shape is important
Round and neat
Using your hands
Not your feet.
Keep the right pace
You're not in a race
Or your poor little word
Will fall on its face.
Be careful of your spacing
Because like racing,
If you don't heed it
You won't be able
To read it!
BINGO

There was a farmer had a dog
And Bingo was his name-oh
B-I-N-G-O
B-I-N-G-O
B-I-N-G-O
and Bingo was his name-oh

There was a farmer has a dog
And Bingo was his name-oh
(clap)-I-N-G-O
(clap)-I-N-G-O
(clap)-I-N-G-O
And Bingo was his name-oh
Parts of a Sentence
A sentence, sentence, sentence
Is complete, complete, complete
When 5 simple rules it meets, meets, meets.
It has a subject, subject,
And a verb, verb, verb.
It makes sense, sense, sense
With every word, word, word.
Add a capital letter and end mark, mark,
Now our sentence has all its parts.
Pancake Day
Great A, little a,
This is pancake day;
Toss the ball high,
Throw the ball low,
Those that come after
May sing heigh-ho!
Pat a Cake

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake,
Baker's man!
So I do, master,
As fast as I can.
Pat it, and prick it,
And mark it with T,
Put it in the oven
For Tommy and me.
The Alphabet

A, B, C, and D,
Pray, playmates, agree.
E, F, and G,
Well, so it shall be.
J, K, and L,
In peace we will dwell.
M, N, and O,
To play let us go.
P, Q, R, and S,
Love may we possess.
W, X, and Y,
Will not quarrel or die.
Z, and ampersand,
Go to school at command.
ABC

Great A, little a,
Bouncing B!
The cat's in the cupboard,
And can't see me.
