(Pick A Letter to Choose a Rhyme!)

I remember my grandmother singing this song to my children when they were very young. -Mama Lisa

Clap Hands, Clap Hands

Clap Hands, Clap Hands - Mama Lisa's House of English Nursery Rhymes, Intro Image


Clap hands, clap hands,
Till father comes home,
For father's got money,
But mother's got none!
 
Listen
Here's the version my grandmother sang to my kids:

Clap hands, clap hands
till Daddy gets home,
'cause Daddy has money,
and Mommy has none!

Game Instructions

Clap baby's hands to the beat until you get to "none!" on the last line. Then put the baby's hands up in the air.
