Campfire Hokey Pokey (Tune: "The Hokey Pokey"):

You put your marshmallow in,

You put your marshmallow out,

You put your marshmallow in and you shake it all about,

You do the campfire pokey and you turn yourself around,

And that's what it's all about!

Repeat with: corn dog, corn on the cob, chicken (on a stick), hotdog, etc.

*I laminated pictures of all of the items we roasted in our campfire and had the kids do the hokey pokey with their imaginary marshmallows and other food. 

Five Little Fireflies:

Five little fireflies blinking in the night,

Looking at the glow of each other's light.

Then whoosh went the wind and whistle went the breeze,

And out went a light with a great big sneeze!

Count down...4, 3, 2, 1...

One little firefly blinking in the night,

Looking at the glow of his very own light.

Then whoosh went the wind and whistle went the breeze,

And out went his light with a great big sneeze!
