Pizza Song
(tune: Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star)

Pizza, pizza, it’s a treat.
Pizza, pizza, it’s fun to eat.
Ooey-gooey cheese so yummy.
Crunchy crust goes in my tummy.
Pizza, pizza, it’s a treat.
Pizza, pizza, is fun to eat!

Pizza
We’re going to have some pizza.
Hurray! Hurrary!
We’re going to have some pizza.
Hurray! Hurray!
Pizza for our dinner,
Pizza every day,
And cheese, cheese in our belly.
Hip, hip, hip, hooray!

Closing Goodbye Song

See you later, alligator

See you later, alligator (Wave goodbye)
In a while, crocodile
Give a hug, ladybug (Hug yourself)
Blow a kiss, jellyfish (Blow a kiss)
See you soon, big baboon
Out the door, dinosaur (Point straight ahead)
Take care, polar bear
Wave goodbye, butterfly (Wave goodbye)

Observations

I made both Pete’s a Pizza and “Hi, Pizza Man” more interactive. I would knock for “Hi, Pizza Man” and have the kids guess what animal was at the door. For Pete’s a Pizza, I had the kids do certain actions depending on what Pete’s dad was doing.
