Five little monkeys Sitting in a tree (hold up 5 fingers)
Teasing Mr. Crocodile--
"You can't catch me."
"You can't catch me."
Along comes Mr. Crocodile (hands together swaying back and forth

5 little ducks went out one day (hold up 5 fingers)
Over the hills and far away, (over hill gesture then hold hand to forehead to look)
Mommy (daddy) duck called quack quack quack, (hand quacking gesture)
But only 4 little ducks came back.

4 little ducks went out one day
Over the hills and far away,
Mommy (daddy) duck called quack quack quack,
But only 3 little ducks came back.

3 little ducks went out one day
Over the hills and far away,
Mommy (daddy) duck called quack quack quack,
But only 2 little ducks came back.

2 little ducks went out one day
Over the hills and far away,
Mommy (daddy) duck called quack quack quack,
But only 1 little duck came back.

1 little duck went out one day
Over the hills and far away,
Mommy (daddy) duck called quack quack quack,
But no little ducks came wondering back.

No little ducks went out one day
Over the hills and far away,
Mommy (daddy) duck called quack quack quack,
And 5 little ducks came wandering back.

Roll your hands so slowly,
as slowly as can be;
Roll your hands so slowly,
And fold your arms like me.

Roll your hands so quickly,
As quickly as can be;
Roll your hands so quickly,
And fold your arms like me.

Clap your hands so softly,
As softly as can be,
Clap your hands so softly,
And fold your arms like me.

Clap your hands so smartly,
As smartly as can be;
Clap your hands so smartly,
And fold your arms like me.

Hush little baby, don't say a word.
Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird.

If that mockingbird won't sing,
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring.

If that diamond ring turn brass,
Mama's gonna buy you a looking glass.

If that looking glass gets broke,
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat.

If that billy goat won't pull,
Mama's gonna buy you a cart and bull.

If that cart and bull turn over,

If that doggy named Rover won't bark,
Mama's gonna buy you a horse and cart.

If that horse and cart fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.

Dog Named Rags

I have a dog and his name is Rags.
He eats so much that his tummy sags.
His ears flip-flop,
And his tail wig-wags,
And when he walks he goes zig-zag.
He goes flip-flop, wig-wag, zig-zag.

(hands at either side of head for flip-flop, hips wiggle
for wig-wag, arms cross for zig-zag)
I love Rags and he loves me.
My dog Rags he loves to play.
He rolls around in the mud all day. (roll hands)
I whistle but he won't obey. (fingers to mouth whistle)
He always runs the other way.

At the Zoo

At the zoo we saw a bear
He had long, dark fuzzy hair (Hands flowing away from head)
pretend to walk. like a bear etc

We saw a lion in a cage. (swat hand in air)
He was in an awful rage.
pretend to be a angry lion

We saw the big, long-necked giraffe, (extend hands up)
And the silly monkeys made us laugh
everybody laugh

But my favorite animal at the zoo
Is the elephant--how about you?

Five Little Birds

Five little birds in a nest in a tree
(hold up right hand)
Are just hungry as can be
"Peep", said baby bird number one
(wiggle one finger)
Mother bird promised she would come
"Peep, Peep", said baby bird number two,
If she doesn't come what will we do?
"Peep, Peep, Peep", said baby bird number three,
I hope she can find this tree.
"Peep, Peep, Peep, Peep", said baby bird number four,
She never was so late before.
"Peep, Peep, Peep, Peep, Peep", said baby bird number five,
When will our mother bird arrive?
Well, here she comes to feed her family
(use left hand as mommy bird)
They're all as happy as can be!

Goodnight Barn

I looked in the barn and what did I see?

(hold hand to forehead to look)
Barnyard animals in groups of three. (hold up 3 fingers)

Three black cows, three white sheep,
Three brown horses, fast asleep.

Three yellow ducks, three red hens,
Three pink pigs asleep in their pens.

Everyone was tucked in for the night.
So I tip-toed out and turned off the light!

Make appropriate hand movements

Here are my fingers and here is my nose.
Here are my ears, and here are my toes.
Here are my eyes that open wide.
Here is my mouth with my white teeth inside.
Here is my pink tongue that helps me speak.
Here are my shoulders and here is my cheek.
Here are my hands that help me play.
Here are my feet that go walking each day.

Wiggles

I wiggle my fingers,
I wiggle my toes.
I wiggle my shoulders,
I wiggle my nose.
Now the wiggles are out of me,
And I'm just as still as can be.

Make appropriate movements

Three Little Fish

tune of: Three Blind Mice

Three little fish, three little fish
(hold up three fingers)
See how they swim, see how they swim
(make swimming motion with arms)
Round and Round and fast they go
("swim" fast - sing fast)
Now they are going very slow
("swim" slow-also song slows)
Three little fish, three little fish
(hold up three fingers)

Bubbles

tune of: Twinkle, Twinkle

(good bathtub song with real bubbles)

Bubbles floating all around (pretend to catch bubbles)
Bubbles fat and bubbles round (make a big circle w/ arms)
Bubbles on my toes and nose
(point to toes; point to nose)
Blow a bubble. ..up it goes! (pretend to blow bubble; point up)
Bubbles floating all around. (pretend to catch bubbles)

Bub. . .bles
fall. . .ing to...the...ground. (sing slowly & sink to ground)
