EGG SONGS

COLORED EGGS
Tune: "Jingle Bells"
 
Colored eggs, colored eggs,
See them all around.
Red eggs, blue eggs, yellow eggs,
See them on the ground.
Colored eggs, colored eggs,
Green and purple, too.
Let's go hunt for colored eggs,
Eggs for me and you.

Elizabeth Scofield

Place red, blue, yellow, green, and purple egg shapes around the room. Invite your children to search for the eggs and place them in six baskets that you have marked with matching colored ribbons.
 

THE LITTLE EGG
Once there was a little egg, that sat upon a wall.
Soon he started to wobble, then he started to fall.
He cried out for help, as down, down, he fell.
I grabbed him in my hand, so he didn’t crack his shell.

But later, when he thought his troubles were at an end,
My mother cracked him in a bowl, I watched him drop right in.
This story has a sad end, for the little egg any way.
But as for my family, he brightened up our day!

I WISH I WERE A TEENY TINY EGG

Tune: "If You're Happy and You Know It"

Oh, I wish I were a teeny tiny egg.
Oh, I wish I were a teeny tiny egg.
I would roll and roll around,
Rolling all around the ground.
Oh, I wish I were a teeny tiny egg.
Liz Ryerson

Let your children roll around like little eggs as you sing.
