(to the tune of “Take me out to the ballgame)
Let's go see our grandparents,
Take us there for a while.
Mommy and Daddy both need a break.
We'll play games and we'll stay up real late!
Oh, we want to thank our grandparents
For all the things that they do,
So it's time.. to.. say you're the best
And that we love you!

Let's clap our hands for Grandma,
for Grandma, for Grandma,
Let's clap our hands for grandma,
Let's clap them this way.

Clap this way and that way,
Clap this way and that way,

Let's clap our hands for Grandma
Let's clap them this way.

Have the children do the proper actions. Use these other actions also:
Let's stomp our feet, Let's nod our heads, etc.

(to the tune of “Barney theme song)
I love Mommy, she loves me
We love Daddy, yes siree
He loves us and so you see
We're a Happy Family
