My Family

Tune: You Are My Sunshine

I love you (family member)

My dearest (family member)

You make me happy

When I am sad.

I want to tell you

I really love you!

When I’m with you,

I’m so glad!

 

These are Grandma’s Glasses

Recite each verse in different pitches

These are Grandma’s glasses (make glasses over eyes with fingers)

This is grandma’s hat (Place hands on head)

And this is the way she folds her hands  (Clasp hands together)

And lays them in her lap. (Place hands in lap)

These are Grandpa’s glasses (make bigger glasses over eyes with fingers)

This is grandpa’s hat  (Place over head to form large hat)

And this is the way he folds his hands  (Cross arms)

And takes a little nap. (Place head on arms as if sleeping)
