Inside a Rocket Ship
Inside a rocket ship,
(hands at a point over head)
Just enough room.
(crouch down)
Here comes the countdown…
5,4,3,2,1 Blast Off!
Zooooooooooommmmmm!!


Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
Twinkle, twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high.
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle little star,

How I wonder what you are.


I Have a Rocket Ship
(We do this as a group flannel board)

I have a rocket ship
Headed for the moon
Here come the (name a color) ones
5, 4, 3, 2, 1 ZOOOMMM!!!


Alien, Alien, Turn Around

Alien, alien, turn around.
Alien, alien, touch the ground.
Alien, alien, tie your shoe.
Alien, alien, that will do.
Alien, alien, turn out the light.
Alien, alien, say good-night!
