Songs and Fingerplays
Oh, what a rain it would be!
I’d stand outside with my mouth open wide
Going Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!
Oh, what a rain it would be!
If all the snowflakes
Were candy bars and milkshakes…
If all the sunbeams
Were bubblegum and ice cream…

Take Me Out For Some Ice Cream
Sung to: Take Me Out To The Ballgame
Take me out for some ice cream,
Take me out to the store.
Buy me a triple scoop jumbo cone.
I won't share, I'll eat it alone!
For its scoop, scoop ,scoop up the ice cream--
Give me three kinds I adore!
For it's one, two, three, scoops to go
At the ice cream store!
Ice Cream Poem
I like ice cream. Yes I do!
One scoop for me?
No! Make it two!
Hmmm two scoops of ice cream,
I want more
How about three?
No, make that four!
1, 2, 3, 4,
Splat! "oh no! It's on the floor!"
Sung to: "On Top of Spaghetti"
All covered with sauce
I lost my poor cherry
It really got lost.
And onto the floor
And then my poor cherry
It rolled out the door.
And under a bush
And then my poor cherry
It turned into mush.
All covered with sauce
Hold onto your cherry
Or it will be lost.
Activity
Shaving Cream Ice Cream Art
Mix equal parts of shaving cream and glue (you can also add a few drops of
tempera paint: brown for chocolate ice cream; pink for strawberry ice cream).
Give the children a piece of construction paper and let them 'scoop' some paint
onto their paper. Using a brush, spoon, or their fingers, have the children
spread the paint around. When they are done, add a brown triangle construction
paper 'cone.' It will resemble a dropped ice cream cone. Kids can have a lot of
fun adding sprinkles or being creative with the project. Credit: Childcare Lounge.com
Make Pretend Ice Cream Sundaes
Buy disposable plastic bowls and glue cotton or fiber fill in the bowl to look
like ice cream. Put brown and red paints in squeeze bottles. Let children
drizzle paint over the cotton to look like chocolate or strawberry sauce. Kids
can also add sprinkles and glue a red pom pom ball on top for a cherry. Add a
plastic spoon on the side.
