Pirate Circle Time Transition Song

Transition to circle time with this Circle Time Song by Mister Kipley. Let your preschool and kindergarten students know it’s time to gather for circle time. Following directions, using walking feet, children find their spot, sit cross-legged (crisscross apple sauce) with hands in laps.

LYRICS

Yo-ho-ho… that bell means it’s Circle Time!

Ahoy, me hearties, come sit down
It’s circle time so gather round
To the rug with walking feet
On your bottom, find your seat!

One two three, all eyes on me It’s circle time, fun as can be!
Yo-ho-ho, let’s not be slow, Find your spot—get set, let’s go!

On yer bottom, cross yer feet,
Criss-cross applesauce—nice and neat!
Hands in laps and eyes on me, Ready to learn, as pirates be!

Ship is steady, sea is clear, Time to listen, time to hear!
We’ll sing, we’ll learn, we’ll have some fun, So find your seat, now, everyone!

Ship is steady, sea is clear, Time to listen, time to hear!
We’ll sing, we’ll learn, we’ll have some fun, So find your seat, now, everyone!
