There’s something special about being a kid in the summer: school’s out, lots of sunshine, swimming in the pool, at the beach or a lake, playing with neighborhood kids outside, summer camp and... yummy food. Watermelon, popsicles, corn on the cob, and of course... lemonade. There’s nothing better on a hot summer day!
We have some fun that you can share with the kids in your life, with our song (you probably guessed it): “Lemonade, Lemonade” 🍋.
Lemonade, Lemonade is a step-by-step fingerplay song about making this refreshing summery sweet treat! Lemonade was inspired by my Hot Chocolate song, one of our most popular songs, and I think kids will LOVE this one, too.
Implementation ideas + free visuals!
“Lemonade, Lemonade” is a great song for:
a sequencing activity
storytime
procedural writing
learning new vocabulary words
learning a new skill (making lemonade!)
We’ve created some visuals you can use in your next class, session or story time!
“Lemonade, Lemonade” is part of our newest album, Summer Songs For Kids, available on Spotify and all music streaming platforms. Search for “Stephanie Leavell.”
the lyrics for Lemonade, lemonade:
Lemonade, lemonade, a sweet treat today
Let’s grab a cup and fill it up
Lemonade, lemonade, a sweet treat today
Let’s make ourselves a drink
First pour the water in the cup
In the cup, in the cup
Then chop some lemons and squeeze them up
Squeeze them up, squeeze them up
Then grab the sugar and dump dump dump
Dump dump dump, dump dump dump
And grab some ice cubes, clunk clunk clunk
And give it a great big STIR
1-2-3 lemonade
4-5-6 lemonade
7-8-9 lemonade 10!
Let’s taste and see if it is sweet enough (sour face?!)
Lemonade, lemonade, a sweet treat today
Let’s grab a cup and fill it up
Lemonade, lemonade, a sweet treat today
Let’s make ourselves a drink
