Best of Kindy
6 years of Waldorf kindergarten…
Great memories and only great
memories.
Songs, poems, stories and verses…
Here is my best of !
And the ‘caterpillar’ is still the
best !
Blessings
on the blossom,
Blessings
on the root,
Blessings on the leaf and stem,
Blessings
on the fruit.
In the spring time garden,
Rosy morning glow,
Sunshine calling, falling, calling,
Flowers awake and grow.
Mother Earth, Mother earth, take our
seed and give it birth.
Father Sun gleam and glow, until the
roots begin to grow.
Sister Rain, Sister Rain, shed thy
(your) tears to swell your grain.
Brother Wind breathe and blow then
the blade all green will grow.
Earth and Sun and Wind and Rain turn
to gold the living grain.
We sing the song of the spirit
In one voice, the Music of life
We dance the rhythm of nature
And we drum the beat of our heart
Hear the earth call to you
Feel the air lifting you
See the fire dance for you
Let the water carry you
I have heard a mother bird
Singing in the rain
Telling all her little ones
Spring has come again.
A bunny
came to call last night.
I did not
see him. That is right.
But he was
there. Here's how I know.
He nibbled
at my carrot row.
Spring is coming, spring is coming.
Birdies, build your nest;
Weave together straw and feather.
Doing each your best.
Spring is coming, spring is coming,
All around is fair;
Shimmer and quiver on the river.
Joy is everywhere.
Round and
round the garden goes the little mouse
Up, up, up
he creeps up into his house.
One, two,
three, four, Posting letters
Through
our door Who's got a letter?
Who are
they for?
One's for
Ali One's for Sue
One's for
me And one's for you!
Walking walking walking, hop,
hop, hop,
Running, running, running, now let's stop.
Walking walking walking, hop, hop, hop,
Running, running, running, now let's stop.
uwwwww, uwwwwww. It's winter.
It's cold.
Busy are all creatures, winter food to hide.
Nests to make cozy, warm and safe inside.
Rose red is the evening sky.
Do, do let us go on our evening walk.
Tomorrow may be dull and gray.
Do, do let us go on our evening walk.
Golden is the garden, Golden is the
glen,
Golden, golden, golden, September is
here again.
Golden are the tree tops, Golden is
the sky,
Golden, golden, golden, September is
here again.
The moon on one hand. The sun on the other.
The moon is my sister. The sun is my brother.
The moon on my left. The sun on my right.
My brother good morning. My sister good night.
There came a little girl and she danced and said, Hey-ho!
Let the wind blow!
I love my little rose with her petals so red. Hey-ho! Let the wind blow!
Here is the beehive. Where are the
bees ?
Hidden away where nobody sees.
Watch out and you will see them
coming out... 1..2..3..4..5..
Can you, can you see the wind passing
by?
Can you, can you see the wind passing
by?
The leaves dance, the clouds fly,
The windows rattle and the trees cry.
But can you, can you see the wind
passing by?
Spirits of fire, come to us! We will kindle a fire!
Spirits of fire, come to us! We will kindle a fire!
We will kindle a fire, dance the magic circle round.
We will kindle a fire, dance the magic circle round.
We are one in the infinite sun, forever and ever and ever.
We are one in the infinite sun, forever and ever and ever.
You are my family. You are healing me.
You are my family. You are healing me.
You are my people. We are one. We are one. We are one.
You are my people. We are one.
In the heart of a seed, Buried
deep so deep,
A dear little plant Lay fast
asleep.
Wake, said the sun, And creep to
the light.
Wake, said the voice Of the
raindrops bright.
The little plant heard, And
arose to see
What the wonderful Outside might
be.
Apple, apple tree. Straight and tall.
Apple, apple tree. Big and small.
Apple, apple tree. Apple, apple tree.
You love us all.
Butterfly, flutter by in the garden
How happy am I that you're passing
by!
How happy am I that you're passing
by!
I'm a bird. I sing my song. And fly,
fly, fly all day long.
And at night, I go to rest, And
sleep, sleep, sleep in my little nest.
The sun is
in my heart,
He warms
me with his power.
And wakens
life and love
In bird
and beast and flower.
On the
earth I stand upright
With joy I
greet the morning sun
Who shines
with love on every one
Who shines
in the sky, on the land and sea,
And who
fills me with light
When he
shines on me.
Good
morning to you
And good
morning to me.
In the morning, the sun wakes
up everyone,
Then he rises high above to share his love.
And at night, the sun sets
And we too go to our beds.
Let us go
to the sugar camp
While the
snow lies ont he ground
Live in
the birch wigwam
All the
children and the older folks
All the
people are at work.
One, two,
three, four, five,
Once I
caught a fish alive,
Six,
seven, eight, nine, ten,
But I let
it go again.
Why did
you let it go?
Because it
bit my finger so.
Which
finger did it bite?
The little
finger on the right.
In soft morning light, the stars fade away.
The birds soon awake. This is a new day.
Awake, awake, shine like the sun.
Give light and love to everyone.
Down is the earth, up is the sky.
There are my friends, and here am I.
Good morning to you, and good morning to me.
Which is the way to fairy land,
To fairy land, to fairy land?
Which is the way to fairy land,
To dance by the light of the moon?
Where are the rabbits where the North Winds blow?
We can not see them in the ice and snow.
Deep deep down in the mud they lie,
Rabbits sleeping with tight closed eyes.
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe,
Catch a tiger by the toe.
If he hollers let him go,
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
My mother told me to pick
The very best one,
And that is Y-O-U.
The
harvest time again is here
For all
both and near
It is the
time we gather food
To last us
all the year.
My
lantern, my lantern,
Shining
near and far
Shining
like a moon
Shining
like a sun
Shining
like a silver star
My
lantern, my lantern.
With my
hands I clap, clap, clap,
With my
feet I tap, tap, tap,
One step
here, one step there,
Round
about as light as air, la, la, la.
With my
finger, I tick, tick, tick,
With my
head, I nick, nick, nick,
One step
here, one step there,
Round
about as light as air, la, la, la.
Two little clouds one sunny day,
Went flying through the sky,
They went so fast, they bumped their
heads
And both began to cry.
Old Father Sun looked out and said:
"Oh, never mind, my dears,
I will send my little fairy folk
To dry your fallen tears."
One came in pink and one in red,
The next in orange bright.
In yellow, green, blue, violet,
They made a pretty sight.
They changed the rolling, crying
tears
To drizzling drops of fun,
And then the fairies laughed and
said:
"We thank you, rain and
sun."
One came in Red. One came in Orange.
One came in Yellow. One came in
Green.
One came in Blue. One came in Indigo.
And the last one came in Violet.
I found a little cherry stone And put
it in the ground
Next time when I went to look A tiny
shoot I found
The shoot grew upward day by day And
soon became a tree
And now I pick the cherries off And
eat them for my tea.
The farmer in the dell, the farmer in
the dell,
Hi-ho the Derry Ho, the farmer in the
dell.
The farmer takes a wife, the farmer
takes a wife,
Hi-ho the Derry Ho, the farmer takes
a wife.
The wife takes a child, nurse, cow,
dog, cat, rat, cheese,
The cheese stands alone, the cheese
stands alone,
Hi-ho the Derry Ho, the cheese stands
alone.
Come little leaves, said the wind one
day
Come over the meadow with me to play
Put on your dresses of red and gold
Summer is gone and the days grow
cold.
The silver rain, the shining sun, the
fields where scarlet poppies run
And all the ripples of the wheat are
in the bread that we do eat.
So when we sit for every meal and say
our grace, we always feel
That we are eating rain and sun and
fields where scarlet poppies run.
1, 2, buckle my shoe. 3, 4, knock at
the door.
5, 6, pick up sticks. 7, 8, lay them
straight.
9, 10, a big fat hen. 11, 12, dig and
delve.
13, 14, maids a courting. 15, 16,
maids in the kitchen.
17, 18, maids in waiting. 19, 20, my
plate is empty.
Caterpillar, crawling so slow,
Caterpillar, let me help you go,
Carrying my caterpillar showing all
my friends
Caterpillar crawled somewhere…
I don’t know where he is.
Caterpillar, where did you go?
Caterpillar, crawling down my nose,
Caterpillar, crawling up the tree,
Caterpillar, eating all the leaves,
Caterpillar, getting big and round,
Caterpillar finds a branch to spin
all around.
In his cocoon sleeping for some time
Dreams until he grows some wings
And becomes a butterfly.
Wake up! Wake up!
Good
morning dear Earth,
Good
morning dear Sun,
Good
morning dear stones
And
flowers everyone.
Good
morning dear beasts
And
birds in the tree.
Good
morning to you
And good
morning to me.
Blue bird, blue bird, through my window,
Oh Johnny I’m tired
In the springtime garden,
Rosy morning glow,
Sunshine calling, falling, calling
Flowers wake and grow.
Enter the night and you'll find the light,
Enter the night, let your spirit take flight,
On the longest night we search for the light,
So when you find that spark
When you dream in the dark
Hold it close to your heart and know.
All that you see is all that can be
When you give birth to the dreams.
I’m a great big tiger.
You can hear me roar.
I have eaten so much,
But I want more and more…
Mary had a
little lamb, little lamb, little lamb,
Mary had a
little lamb, its fleece was white as snow.
And
everywhere that Mary went, Mary went, Mary went,
Everywhere
that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go.
It
followed her to school one day, school one day, school one day,
It
followed her to school one day, that was against the rules.
It made
the children laugh and play, laugh and play, laugh and play,
It made
the children laugh and play to see a lamb at school.
Round and round the earth is
turning
Turning always round to morning
And from morning round to night.
Round the clock the hours go,
Sometimes fast and sometimes slow,
Tell me what the two hands say,
They will the time of day.
My mother said
I never should
Play with the fairies
In the wood
They dance with fire
They roll in hay
They steal your heart
Right a-way.
The North
Wind came along one day,
So strong
and full of fun;
He called
the leaves down from the trees
And said
run, children, run...
They came
in red or yellow dress,
In shaded
green and brown,
And all
the short November days
He chased
them round the town.
1, 2, I like you.
2, 3, you like me.
I like Jim. I like Sue
