Baby Club Sing-Along
Once you've share the story, you'll probably want to sing the songs!
This is a lovely song to start off with. |
If You're Happy and You Know It
If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands,
If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands, If you’re happy and you know it, And your really want to show it, If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands!

Peek-a-Boo!
When we sing peek-a-boo! songs with young babies, I’m hiding, I’m hiding – peek-a-boo! peek-a-boo!
I’m hiding, I’m hiding – peek-a-peek-a boo! I see you, I see you – peek-a-boo! peek-a-boo! I see you, I see you – peek-a-peek-a boo! |
When I was asked to start a Baby Club, I realised that all of the baby songs I knew were in Irish, even though Irish has not been spoken as a first language in my family for many generations. |

With my Little Hands...
With my little hands I go, clap clap clap.
With my little feet I go, tap, tap, tap. With my little arms I wave ‘bye,‘bye, ‘bye. With my little legs I kick high high high With my little eyes I go, peek-a-boo! With my little lips I say ‘I love you! |
When we do this song in our stripey top club, the children love to choose an animal from my box to hold. |
Old MacDonald Had a Farm
Old MacDonald had a farm, E – I – E – I – O!
And on that farm he had a sheep, E – I – E – I – O! With a baa baa here, and a baa baa there! Here a baa, there a baa, everywhere a baa baa! Old MacDonald had a farm, E – I – E – I – O! |

The Wheels of the Bus
The wheels of the bus go round and round,
round and round, round and round, The wheels of the bus go round and round, all day long. The wipers on the bus go swish swish swish The bell on the bus goes ding ding ding The doors on the bus go open and shut The children on the bus go up and down The babies on the bus go waah waah waah The mummies on the bus go shh shh shh! |
This was a great favourite of mine - my granda used to sing it to me and lift me high up for the 'Giddy Up' moment! |
Horsey, Horsey!
Horsey, horsey, don’t you stop,
Just let your heels go clipety clop, Tail goes swish and your wheels go round, Giddy up! We’re homeward bound. |
Zoom! Zoom! Zoom!
