Summer Days
I’m looking for a hot spot.
A what spot?
A hot spot.
I’m looking for a hot spot.
To lie out in the sun.
I’m looking for a hot spot
To play and have some fun.
I’m looking for a hot spot
To hit a ball and run.
Oh, I’m looking for a hot spot.
A what spot?
A hot spot.
I’m looking for a hot spot
Now summer has begun.

Summer Song
By the sand between my toes,
By the waves behind my ears,
By the sunburn on my nose,
By the little salty tears
That make rainbows in the sun
When I squeeze my eyes and run,
By the way the seagulls screech,
Guess where I am? At the ……!
By the way the children shout
Guess what happened? School is ……!
By the way I sing this song
Guess if summer lasts too long:
You must answer Right or ……!

Good luck!

Play along using any kind of instrument or use body percussion – clapping, tapping, clicking, stamping your feet.
Activities (links below)
- Hello Song
- Bounce and catch
- Sing Charlie Over the Ocean. Watch the video first to see how to do it. Then you can get your own soft toys and join in or else watch and sing.
- Ride a Horse. Get a teddy bear or favourite soft toy to bounce on your knee for this song. Maybe a grown-up will bounce you on their knee.
- Funga Alafia: Copy the actions in the videos and join in this song from Nigeria in West Africa. The words are in the Hausa language and mean “Give us peace/ thank you thank you”
- Time to move. Play the instruments along to the video or get up and dance. If you like, get a scarf to play with. This week’s classic is Shiny Happy People by REM, with guest vocals by Kate Pierson from the B-52s. Can you copy the dance everybody does together?
- Time to relax. This week we are listening to a piano piece called aisatsana by electronica and ambient pioneer The Aphex Twin.

How are you today?
Hello, hello
Very nice to see you
Hello hello,

We say “Hello”
We’re very pleased to see you
We say “Hello”(can you say and sign hello?)
We say “Hello”
We’re very pleased to see you
