Space Songs and Action Rhymes

Gazing at the Stars
by Debbie Hasbrook

I lay on my back one Summer night,
Gazing up at the sky,
It was filled with so many sparkling lights,            
Millions of stars so bright.
I started to count them, one by one,
Until I was tired, good night.

Milky Way
by Debbie Hasbrook

My Mommy said there’s a Milky Way,
high up in the sky.
She says that it is much too far,
for my little eyes to see.
I asked her if you drink it,
or if it’s a candy bar.
She said that it’s a galaxy,
Filled with millions of stars.

The Sun and Moon
by Debbie Hasbrook

The Moon is oh so sleepy,
And only comes out at night.
The Sun comes out when it’s time to play,
It’s hot and yellow and bright!
The Moon can change it’s shape,
A circle, a crescent then hidden,
The Sun has only one shape,
A Circle that crosses the heavens.

Tuning Up For Outer Space 
Sing to tune of "The Farmer in the Dell"

The sun is in the sky. The sun is in the sky.
Hot and bright, it gives us light.
The sun is in the sky.
The moon is in the sky.
The Moon is in the sky.
Around and 'round the earth it goes.
The moon is in the sky.
The stars are in the sky.
The stars are in the sky.
Twinkly bright, they shine at night.
The stars are in the sky.

Around the Sun 
Sing to tune of "Here We Go Around the Mulberry Bush"

Mercury goes around the sun,
Around the sun, around the sun.
Like the planets, everyone.
Each one in its orbit. (Continue with all planets)
As you continue the song, ask the children which planet would be next.
