BENDER THE BLENDER
There once was a blender,
His name was Bender,
When no one was home,
He would come alive and roam.
All his friends would be there soon,
The knife, the fork and the spoon,
They would gather around,
And run all over the ground.
Soon everyone is glum,
Hearing the car – Vroom! Vroom!
They have to draw the line,
And wait until next time.
Note to the teacher: Sing the song with actions. Encourage the children to listen and do the actions first, then follow the song.
