You may remember some of them from your own childhood, but I’ve included videos and lyrics for you to follow along with just in case.

The Wheels on the Bus
Wikipedia credits Verna Hills with writing “The Wheels on the Bus.” However, other sources say the true author of this preschool action song is unknown. The song based on “Here We Go ‘Round the Mulberry Bush” and is sung to the same tune.
The Wheels on the Bus ~ Lyrics
The wheels on the bus go round and round
Round and round, round and round
The wheels on the bus go round and round all through the town!
The people on the bus go up and down
Up and down, up and down
The people on the bus go up and down all through the town!
The horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
The horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep all through the town!
The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish swish
The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish all through the town!
The signals on the bus go blink, blink, blink
Blink, blink, blink, blink, blink, blink
The signals on the bus go blink, blink, blink all through the town!
The motor on the bus goes zoom, zoom, zoom
Zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom
The motor on the bus goes zoom, zoom, zoom all through the town!
The babies on the bus go waa, waa, waa
Waa, waa, waa, waa, waa, waa
The babies on the bus go waa, waa, waa all through the town!
The parents on the bus go shh, shh, shh
Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh
The parents on the bus go shh, shh, shh all through the town!
Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes
“Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes” is lively tune that will get your kids’ blood pumping while teaching them body part recognition.
Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes ~ Lyrics
Head, shoulders, knees and toes
Knees and toes
Head, shoulders, knees and toes
Knees and toes
Eyes and ears, and mouth, and nose
Head, shoulders, knees and toes
Knees and toes
I’m a Little Teapot
“I’m a Little Teapot” was written by George Harold Sanders and Clarence Z. Kelley, and published in 1939. Your kids will not only have a blast performing this preschool action song, they will look adorable doing it!
I’m a Little Teapot ~ Lyrics
I’m a little teapot
Short and stout.
Here is my handle,
Here is my spout.
When I get all steamed up
Hear me shout:
Tip me over
And pour me out!
I’m a very special teapot
This is true.
Here’s an example
Of what I can do.
I can change my handle
And my spout.
Tip me over
And pour me out!
If You’re Happy and You Know It
Although “If You’re Happy and You Know It” was credited to Joe Raposo in 1971 by Jonico Music when they filed a copyright for it, the song had been around for years (possibly, decades) and published by others prior to that date.
Regardless of who is truly responsible for writing this cheerful little ditty, it will surely put a smile on your kiddo’s face!
If You’re Happy and You Know It ~ Lyrics
If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands
If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands
If you’re happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it
If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands
If you’re happy and you know it, stomp your feet
If you’re happy and you know it, stomp your feet
If you’re happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it
If you’re happy and you know it, stomp your feet
If you’re happy and you know it, shout “Hurray!” (Hurray!)
If you’re happy and you know it, shout “Hurray!” (Hurray!)
If you’re happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it
If you’re happy and you know it, shout “Hurray!” (Hurray!)
If you’re happy and you know it, do all three (hurray!)
If you’re happy and you know it, do all three (hurray!)
If you’re happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it
If you’re happy and you know it, do all three (hurray!)
The Hokey Pokey
No list of preschool action songs would be complete without the good ‘ol “Hokey Pokey!” Your kids will have a blast shaking out their excess energy to this song while working on their body part recognition and coordination.
The Hokey Pokey ~ Lyrics
You put your right hand in
You take your right hand out

You put your whole self in
And you shake it all about
You do the hokey pokey
And you turn yourself around
That’s what it’s all about
Animal Action Songs for Kids
Next up is a collection of preschool action songs that feature animals.
I hesitated to include “Baby Shark” on the list because most people know it already (whether they have kids or not). But, since it’s so popular with the littles, I decided to share it after all. So, without further ado, here’s your earworm for the day.
Baby Shark

Animal Dance and Freeze
Jack Hartmann’s “Animal Dance and Freeze” is a great way to familiarize little ones with wild animals. It also helps kids with their listening skills, and it builds “body and brain connections with crossing the midline moves.”
Animal Dance and Freeze ~ Lyrics
Move your lion paws, roar!
Move your monkey arms, swing!
Move your eagle wings, fly!
Move your head, hips and knees
And do the animal dance and freeze
Dance like a cheetah, run
Dance like a cheetah, run
Dance like a cheetah with me
Dance like a cheetah and freeze
Dance like an elephant, stomp, stomp
Dance like an elephant, stomp, stomp
Dance like an elephant with me
Dance like an elephant and freeze
Dance like a giraffe, stretch, stretch
Dance like a giraffe, stretch, stretch
Dance like a giraffe with me
Dance like a giraffe and freeze
Move your lion paws, roar!
Move your monkey arms, swing!
Move your eagle wings, fly!
Move your head, hips and knees
And do the animal dance and freeze
Dance like a crocodile, chomp, chomp
Dance like a crocodile, chomp, chomp
Dance like a crocodile with me
Dance like a crocodile and freeze
Dance like a gorilla, thump, thump
Dance like a gorilla, thump, thump
Dance like a gorilla like me
Dance like a gorilla and freeze
Dance like a snake, slither, slither
Dance like a snake, slither, slither
Dance like a snake with me
Dance like a snake and freeze
Move your lion paws, roar!
Move your monkey arms, swing!
Move your eagle wings, fly!
Move your head, hips and knees
And do the animal dance and freeze
The Penguin Dance
Here’s another cute preschool action song from Pink Fong of “Baby Shark” fame. Instead of sharks, this one’s all about penguins.
The Penguin Dance ~ Lyrics
Penguins attention! Penguins begin!
Have you ever seen a penguin dancing here?
When you look at me a penguin you will see!
Penguins attention! Penguins begin!
Right flipper!
Have you ever seen a penguin dancing here?
When you look at me a penguin you will see!
Penguins attention! Penguins begin!
Right flipper! Left flipper!
Have you ever seen a penguin dancing here?
When you look at me a penguin you will see!
Penguins attention! Penguins begin!
Right flipper! Left flipper! Right foot!
Have you ever seen a penguin dancing here?
When you look at me a penguin you will see!
Penguins attention! Penguins begin!
Right flipper! Left flipper! Right foot! Left foot!
Have you ever seen a penguin dancing here?
When you look at me a penguin you will see!
Penguins attention! Penguins begin!
Right flipper! Left flipper! Right foot! Left foot! Nod your head!
Have you ever seen a penguin dancing here?
When you look at me a penguin you will see!
Penguins attention! Penguins begin! Right flipper! Left flipper! Right foot! Left foot! Nod your head! Turn around!
Have you ever seen a penguin dancing here?
When you look at me a penguin you will see!
Penguins attention! Penguins dismissed!
