Today's Finger Play Fun Day is a fun song with lots of animals sounds!
The Good Day Song, is also known as When Cats Get Up in the Morning.

In the video I sing about a cat, a dog and a bee but you can sing about all kinds of animals and what they say when they get up in the morning.  I used finger puppets but this is another great song for making hand signs for different animals. 

 After my girls and I sing about a bunch of animals, we often start putting family members' names in the verses and make up what each person says in the morning.

The Good Day Song
aka When Cats Get Up in the Morning


 
When cats get up in the morning,

They always say “Good day.”

When cats get up in the morning,

They always say “Good day.”

Meow, meow, meow meow

That is what they say.

They say, meow, meow, meow, meow.

That is what they say.

 

Repeat with different animals and their sounds.

  2. Your songs are so much fun for families with small children! Isn't it great when they can make all the animal sounds? Like when they know colors, it seems amazing. So thanks and I'm glad to know the tune, too, I was singing what I thought it was and wasn't quite right. Carolyn

    1. Children love this song. I think because it is easy to sing the animal sounds. I hope your son likes it, Jackie!
