When you have a kid, especially a baby, sometimes you just want a new game or song to play with them, so I decided, I’m going to start Games with your kids.  Each (hopefully) Wednesday I will post a new game to play with your little ones.  If I get a lot of interest for it, I will start a weekly linky.

This week, I decided to pick one of my favorite songs to sing with my kids.  Maggie and I have been doing this since she was just a few months old, and we sang it with Charlie the other day and got lots of smiles from him.  Warning:  Your baby should have decent head control, otherwise, be sure to hold your hands behind baby’s head.

Hold your baby facing you and sway back and forth while singing:

Tick Tock, Tick tock, I’m a little cuckoo clock

Tick tock, tick tock, now I’m striking one o’clock

Coo coo! (Gently raise baby into the air and back down one time)

Tick tock tick tock, I’m a little cuckoo clock

Tick tock, tick tock, now I’m striking two o’clock

Coo coo!  Coo coo!  (repeat actions 2 times)

Tick tock, tick tock, I’m a little cuckoo clock

Tick tock, tick tock, now I’m striking three o’clock

Coo coo!  Coo coo!  Coo coo!  (repeat actions 3 times)

I hope your kids enjoy singing this as much as we do!
