 I'm
Going Camping
(Tune of: I'm a Little Teapot)
I am going camping (point to self)
Time to pack (look at watch)
My tent, my bedroll,
(make tent with hands, then fold hands to cheek)
And a snack. (pretend to eat)
I'll sit by the campfire
(warm hands over fire)
Its glow so bright. (wiggle fingers for fire)
Then snooze in my tent
(pretend to snore)
'Til the morning light!
(open eyes wide, forming sun over head)
Camping
Hokey Pokey
You put your marshmallow in,
You take your marshmallow out.
You put your marshmallow in
and you shake it all about.
You do the camping pokey and you turn yourself about.
That's what it's all about!
(Repeat
with hot dog, pizza roll and corn on the cob.) |

All of a sudden, one went BANG.
(clap hands)
One fat sausage (hold up 1 finger)

To
make a pretend campfire, take brown construction paper and
roll it the long way into paper logs and tape them in place.
You could also use paper rolls from paper towels or toilet
paper rolls- just paint them brown. Make a bunch of logs. Next
take a large number of rocks or stones and make a circle on
the ground to create a fire pit for your campfire. Put the
logs inside the circle. Use red and orange construction paper
and cut out flames for your campfire and either tape them to
some of the logs or place them on top.
