Fairy and Elf Activities #5 for Boys and Girls: Fairy Songs for Kids

After we made fairy gardens, we wanted to sing fairy songs and do actions. Of all the songs we know, none were about fairies. We had to make some up.

Using tunes that the kids already know, we changed to words to include fairies and other creatures. Think of the notes for 1 Little, 2 Little, 3 Little but sing:

1 little, 2 little, 3 little fairies.
4 little, 5 little, 6 little fairies.
7 little, 8 little, 9 little fairies.
10 little fairies all around.

Not all kids are into fairies, so you might want to use another mythical creature.

1 little, 2 little, 3 little tiny elves…
10 little tiny elves.

1 little, 2 little, 3 little pixies…
10 little garden pixies.

1 little, 2 little, 3 little garden gnomes…
10 little garden gnomes.

Instead of little, substitute other words that tell about these beings.

1 tricky, 2 tricky, 3 tricky leprechauns…
10 tricky leprechauns.

1 round, 2 round, 3 round rock trolls…
10 round rocky trolls.

For a fairy action song, use the tune to This Is the Way We Go To School which is the same as Here We ‘Round the Mulberry Bush.
