10 Little Doggies

Ten little doggies went out one day
(hold 10 fingers up)
To dig in the dirt and play, play, play.
(Pretend to dig like a dog with both hands)
Five were spotted, and five were not,
(Hold up one hand at a time)
and at dinner time they ate a lot!
(Pretend to eat)

The Goldfish

My darling little goldfish
Hasn’t any toes.
(point to toes)
He swims around without a sound
(make wavy motions with right hand)
And bumps his hungary nose
(tap nose with right hand)
He Can’t get out and play with me
(right hand swimming motion)
Nor I get in to him.
(left hand stands upright)
Although I say, “Come out and play”
(left hand beckons to right hand)
He says “come in and swim”
(right hand beckons to left hand)

Ice Cream Cones



5 little ice cream cones so good to eat.
The first one said, "I'm a summer time treat,"
The second one said, "It's such a hot day,"
The third one said, "I'm melting away."
The fourth one said, "Don't lose your top!"
The fifth one said, "Oh dear,"
KERPLOP!

Place last one upside down

Stop, Look, and Listen

Stop! (hands in front, palms out)
Look! (hands shade eyes)
and listen!(hand cups eyes)
Before you cross the street, (look both ways)
Use your eyes (point to eyes)
Use your ears (point to ears)
And then use your feet (point to feet and nod head)

Five little Peas

Five little peas in a pea pod pressed. (hold fists in front of you with your knuckles pressed together)
1 grew, 2 grew and so did all the rest (on one hand pull one finger out of the fist at a time as you count up)
They grew and they grew (begin to pull hands apart)
And they did not stop (hands are as wide apart as possible now)
Until one day, that pod went, Pop! (Clap hands loudly)

Get Your Wiggles Out

Wiggle your finger, wiggle your toes
Wiggle your shoulders, wiggle your nose
Now all my wiggles are out of me
I can sit down and be wiggle free!

When I stretch up

When I stretch up, I feel so tall
When I bend down, I feel so small
Tall, tall, tall, small, small, small
Tuck yourself into a ball

Apple Tree

Way up high in the apple tree, two red apples smiled at me
I shook that tree as hard as I could
Down came the apples and they were really good!

Popcorn

I am popcorn in a pot don't forget my top
Pretty soon I'll sizzle, sssstttttttttttt
And after that, I'll pop!
