“Llama Llama Home with Mama” Anna Dewdney
I've got a cold
I've got a cold
[Look all miserable and point to yourself.]
My nose can't smell
[Point to your nose.]
My eyes are red
[Point to both your eyes.]
I don't feel well
[Hand on forehead like a headache.]
So I'll drink my juice
[Pretend to drink glass of juice.]
And go to bed. . .
[Fold hands under tilted head, close eyes.]
My nose feels better
[Look happy and point to nose.]
And so does my head!
[Look very happy and point to head.]
I've got a cold

[Look happy and point to nose.]
And so does my head!
[Look very happy and point to head.]
“A Sick Day for Amos McGee” Phillip Christian Stead
My head hurts
[Put hand on forehead.]
My throat is sore
[Point to throat.]
I want to lay upon the floor!
[Point to floor.]
[Put hand on forehead.]
My throat is sore
[Point to throat.]
I want to lay upon the floor!
[Point to floor.]
My ears are stuffed
[Point to ears.]
My nose is runny
[Point to nose.]
Being sick isn't funny!
[Shake head saying no.]
[Point to ears.]
My nose is runny

Being sick isn't funny!

Sneezing Song
I think --I am going to sneeze ..(ha chew!)
I think --I am going to sneeze ..(ha chew)
If you sneeze, pass the tissue please....
Ha Chew, Ha Chew, Ha Chew
I think --I am going to sneeze ..(ha chew)
If you sneeze, pass the tissue please....

Other titles I’ve used with this theme: “My Cold Went on Vacation” Molly Rausch
Craft
I use a bear face and arm template. We color him. Then, the kids glue a tissue to his nose. In the end, you have a bear holding a tissue to his nose.
BATS!

Open Shut Them--song
“Bats at the Beach” Brian Lies or “Bats at the Library” Brian Lies
(From No Time for Flashcards click for a video of the song!)
5 little bats went on a flight
by the light of the moon one night
Mama bat said squeak squeak squeak swack!
but only 4 little bats came back.
Repeat for 4,3,2,1
No little bats went on a flight
by the light of the moon one night
Mama bat said squeak squeak squeak swack!
and 5 little bats came flying back!

“Chicks Run Wild!” Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen
Five eggs and five eggs,
That makes ten. (hold up two hands)
Sitting on top is the Mother Hen. (fold one hand over the other)
Cackle, cackle, cackle; (clap three times)
What do I see?
Ten fluffy chickens, (hold up ten fingers)
As yellow as can be.
“Whose Chick Are You?” Nancy Tafuri
