BIG AND ROUND
Tune: “Frere Jacques”
Big and round,
Big and round.
Is the sun,
Is the sun.
It is round and yellow
What a sunny fellow.
In the sky,
In the sky.
Jean Warren
Have your children act out the song. |
SEE THE YELLOW CIRCLE
See the yellow circle in the sky,
That’s the sun, passing by.
It’s warm rays are shinning down.
But when it’s cloudy, they can’t be found.
Jean Warren

SEE THE YELLOW SUN
See the yellow sun so big and bright.
When it shines down, it gives us light.
See the golden rays, that seem to glow.
They come down to, help things grow.
