Wearing colors

Wearing Colors – action song (to tune of “If You’re Happy and You Know It”)

If you are wearing red, shake your head
If you are wearing red, shake your head
If you are wearing red
Then please shake your head
If you are wearing red, shake your head

If you are wearing blue, touch your shoe…

If you are wearing green, bow to the queen …
If you are wearing yellow, shake like Jell-O …
If you are wearing black, pat your back …
If you are wearing brown, turn around…

Teddy wore his red shirt

Teddy Wore His Red Shirt – rhyme

Teddy wore his red shirt, red shirt, red shirt.

Teddy wore his red shirt all day long.

[repeat with: blue, green, etc. Use children's names.]

Jenny Jenkins

Jenny Jenkins – traditional song

Will you wear white, oh my dear, oh my dear
Oh will you wear white, Jennie Jenkins?
No, I won't wear white
For the color's too bright

(Chorus)
I'll buy me a fol-de-roldy-tildy-toddy, seek-a-double, use-a-cause-a-roll-the-find-me
Roll, Jenny Jenkins, roll

(repeat with other colors:)
Blue, the color's too true
Red, it's the color of my head
Black, it's the color of my back
Purple, it's the color of a turkle
Green, for it's a shame to be seen

(end with…
Bare, I’ll cover up with my hair)

De Colores

De Colores – Traditional Mexican song

De colores, de colores se visten los campos en la primavera

De colores, de colores son los pajaritos que vienen de afuera

De colores, de colores es el arco iris que vemos lucir

Y por eso los grandes amores de muchos colores me gustan a mi

Canta el gallo, canta el gallot con el kiri kiri kiri kiri

La gallina, la gallina con su “cara cara cara cara cara cara

Y los pollitos, los pollitos con el “pio pio pio pio pio p i pi”

Y por eso…

[rough translation:

All the colors the fields dress in, in springtime

All the colors the little birds that come outside

All the colors is the rainbow that shines

And that, the great loves of many colors, is what I like.

The rooster sings, with a kiri kiri kiri

The hen sings, with a cara cara cara cara

And the chicks sing, pio pio pio pio

And that, the great loves of many colors, is what I like.]
