We Play – Building Songs

Posted on June 22, 2010 9 Comments

We are keeping it simple on the play scene in our house this week… just the good old fashioned toys that I know will hold the Small Boy’s attention for a decent period of time. Duplo, of course is top of that list.

activities for kids building songs

We build and we sing these building songs...

“Build it up,
Build it up,
Build it higher.
Build it up,
up,
up,
into the sky.
Build it up
Build it up
Build it higher…
Build it up
up
up
into the sky!”

Or…

“Here’s a house with a wall,
With a wall,
With a wall.
(put arms up as a wall)
Here’s a house with a floor,
With a floor,
With a floor.
(lay arms flat like a floor)
Here’s a house with a roof,
With a roof,
With a rooooooooooof…
(build a roof with your arms then wobble it about)
CRASH!
(crash arms into lap)
There’s no house any more, any more.
(clapping)
There’s no house any more!”

    I think we have both those songs on a Play School dvd :)

    Princess is also loving building at the moment. She keeps wanting to build a library with her wooden blocks :)

    My sons love building. Although I think that with a 21 mth old ‘Crash it down’ is definitely the tune of the moment.

    My girls are still bigger fans of the crash it down part than the build it up part. Crashing it down it is so much fun :grin:

    I’ve been a pre-school educator for 25 plus years. Definately the crashing is the most fun. Legos and dulpos are the favorites in block center.
