The Dinosaurs

The dinosaurs lived long ago, when life on earth began.
   (gesture palm up wave over your shoulder)
Some were tall (gesture high).
Some were small (gesture low).
Some liked water (gesture swimming).
Some liked land (gesture walking by alternating palms on your knees).
Pteranadons had leathery wings (gesture flying).
Brontausaurs, long necks (gesture to neck).
But the meanest dinosaur of all (gesture mean face).
Was Tyranosaurus Rex (gesture heavy stomping by alternating
  palms on your knees).

Five Little Snowmen

 A great audience participation, you can get kids to stand up in front and melt away at different points in the rhyme.  Repeat to include as many kids as you can.

Five little snowmen standing in a row
Each had a hat and a big red bow
Out came the sun and it shone all day
One little snowman melted away

Four little snowmen standing in a row
Each had a hat and a big red bow
Out came the sun and it shone all day
One little snowman melted away

Three little snowmen standing in a row
Each had a hat and a big red bow
Out came the sun and it shone all day
One little snowman melted away

Two little snowmen standing in a row
Each had a hat and a big red bow
Out came the sun and it shone all day
One little snowman melted away

One little snowmen standing in a row
Each had a hat and a big red bow
Out came the sun and it shone all day
One little snowman melted away
