WHERE WILL
YOU ROAM?
Tune: “My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean” The rooster roamed the barnyard.
The raccoon roamed the glen.
The rocket roamed the sky,
And then it came home, again.
Roam, roam, roam, roam
Where will you roam today?
Roam, roam, roam, roam
Now it’s your turn to say.
Have your child name places they would like to roam that start with
the sound of “R”, such as; the roller rink, the river, the rain forest,
the railway station, the ranch, the radio station, etc. Perhaps you
could make up R destination cards with pictures on them for your child.

UNDER THE RAINBOW
Tune: “Row, Row, Row Your Boat” Row, row, row your raft
Under the rainbow.
You will find a really great place
Where all the rafters go.
Read, read, read some rhymes
Under the rainbow.
You will find a really great place
Where all the readers go.
Race, race, race your car
Under the rainbow.
You will find a really great place
Where all the racers go.
Roll, roll, roll your rolling pin
Under the rainbow.
You will find a really great place
Where all the rollers go.
See if your child can help you make up more verses.

| THE REINDEER
PARADE

The reindeer are marching into town, hooray, hooray.
They are pulling a great big red Christmas Sleigh.
It’s filled with rafts and radios.
It’s filled with robots without any toes.
Oh, we’re oh so glad that they could come today.
The reindeer are marching into town, hooray, hooray.
They are pulling a great big red Christmas sleigh.
It is filled with roller skates and more.

Oh, we’re oh so glad that they could come today.

ROAD RACER
Road Racer, Road Racer
Road Racer Bear,
He won the race
At the County Fair. He raced past rabbit.
He raced past rat.
He raced past rooster
In nothing flat.
He raced past reindeer.
He raced past raccoon.
He raced past road runner.
Just like a cartoon
He won a ribbon
And got a new ring.
He was the winner,
He felt like a king!
Road Racer, Road Racer
Road Racer Bear.
He won the race
At the County Fair.
