I Love To Sing For The Letter Ll
Tune: Deck The Halls
I love to sing for the letter Ll,
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la,
I like the things that Ll can tell,
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la,
Light the lamp and lick the lollipop,
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la,
I just love the letter Ll,
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.

See The Ladybug
Tune: Frere Jacques
See the ladybug, see the ladybug,
Watch it crawl, watch it crawl.
See it crawling higher.
See it crawling higher.
Watch it crawl, up the wall.
See the ladybug, see the ladybug,
Watch it crawl, watch it crawl.
See it crawling lower.
See it crawling lower.
Way down low, to my toe.

The Library
Tune: Yankee Doodle
All the boys and girls can come
And take home books for free.
They come and find the books they like
At the li-brar-y.

The March Song
Tune: Mary Had A Little Lamb
March comes in like a lion,
Like a lion, like a lion.
March comes in like a lion,
And goes out like a lamb.
March comes in with a great big wind,
Great big wind, great big wind.
March comes in with a great big wind,
And goes out with a breeze.

5 Little Leaves - Fingerplay
5 little leaves so bright and gay
Were dancing about a tree one day
The wind came blowing through the town
1 little leaf came blowing down
4 little leaves, so bright and gay...
For this fingerplay you can make colored leaves out of felt
or posterboard on tongue depressors.
*****
5 sticky lollipops fixed on sticks,
Take a sticky lollipop and lick lick lick!

WORDS WITH L'S
My favorite words are words with L's:
cool, small words like rills and dells,
merry words like lilting bells
and woodland words like lochs and fells.
Watery words like shell and shallow,
mystic words like grail and hallow,
friendly words like fellow and jolly,
and rich moist phrases like lob-lolly.
Brilliant words like glow and yellow,
warm soft words like lax and mellow,
beckoning words like hill and hollow
and will-o'-the-wisp and will-you-follow.
Uneasy words like lurk and brittle,
lovable words like laugh and little,
syllables that roll along
like lullaby and billabong,
and words that slip and slither by
like lollipop and lorelei.
