Five Little Bears

My five little bears puppet made out of a canvas glove!

Five Little Bears

One little bear wondering what to do, 

Along came another then there were two.

Two little bears climbing up a tree,

Along came another then there were three.

Three little bears at an apple core,

Along came another then there were four.

Four little honey bears found honey in a hive,

Along came another then there were five!

The Turkey Song

With a gobble, gobble, gobble,  (make beaks with hands)
And a wobble, wobble, wobble,  (twist your hips)
All the turkeys spread their feathers,  (bring arms up and down)
On Thanksgiving Day!

Sun, Moon, Stars Song - Sung to "Farmer in the Dell"

The sun is in the sky, the sun is in the sky,
hot and bright it gives us light, 
the sun is in the sky!

The moon is in the sky, the moon is in the sky,
round and round the earth it goes,
the moon is in the sky!

The stars are in the sky, the stars are in the sky,
twinkling bright they shine at night,
the stars are in the sky!

Spaceship Song - sung to the tune "Itsy, Bitsy, Spider"

Climb aboard the spaceship, we're going to the moon.
Hurry and get ready, we're going to blast off soon!
Put on your helmet, and buckle up real tight.
Here comes the countdown, let's count with all our might!
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
BLAST OFF!

Five Little Leaves Song

Five Little Leaves

Five Little leaves so happy and free,

Hung from the branch of a maple tree.

The wind came whistling all around (kids be wind).....,

And one little leaf came tumbling down.

(Countdown until all the leaves are gone!)

I cut-out five leaves and I hold them like I'm the tree and everytime the "wind" blows, I let one go.

Five Little Fishes

(Fingerplay)

Five little fishes, swimming in a school.      (Hold up 5 fingers, swim with hands)

The first one said, "This water's cool".        (Hold up 1 finger, then shiver)

The second one said, "There's a shark over there!"        (Hold up two fingers,then point)

The third one said, "We'd better beware!"        (Hold up three fingers, look scared)

The fourth one said, "Where can we hide?"       (Hold up four fingers, hold out hands)

The fifth one said, "There's a cave! Go inside!"      (Hold up five fingers, then point.)

Then in went the fish, and the shark went away,

And the five little fishes swam out to play.

Going to the Ocean

(sung to:  "I've Been Working on the Railroad")

I am going to the ocean,
To the ocean blue.
I am going to the ocean,
And you can come along, too.
We could watch the big and blue waves
Rising up and rolling down.
We could look for pretty seashells
On the sandy ground.

Come along with me.
Come along with me.
Come along with me to the deep blue sea.
Come along with me.
Come along with me.
Come along with me today.

Five Little Fishes

Five little fishes swimming in the sea,

Teasing Mr. Shark,

"You can't catch me!"

Along comes Mr. Shark, as quiet as can be and.....

SNAP!

Four little fishes swimming in the sea,

(Countdown until you get to zero!)

Flitter, Flutter, Butterfly

Flitter, flutter butterfly, (flap your wings)

Flying in the big blue sky. (hold arms up)

Flutter high, (flap your wings high)

Flutter low, (flap your wings low)

Flutter fast, (flap fast)

Flutter slow. (flap slow)

Flitter, flutter butterfly,

Flying in the big blue sky.

Animal Cracker Box

This is why I said to save the animals cracker boxes. We say this little poem at circle time and the kids take turns picking the animals out of the box! If you click on the image you can read the poem.

I Went to the Jungle

(sung to: London Bridges)

I went to the jungle one day,

jungle one day, jungle one day,

I saw a ________ on the way

and this is what he said,
(make animal's noise).

*Fill in a new animal and sound every time you sing the song*

Baby Dino

Inside an egg that's big and round, (hold arms in circle over head)

Baby dino is safe and sound. (crouch down into a ball)

But he wants to see the sights, (pretend to look with binoculars)

So he pushes and pokes with all his might. (push arms and legs out)

Soon his shell pops and cracks,

And the baby dino makes dinosaur tracks. (stomp feet)

Mr. Dinosaur

Sung to: "Do Your Ears Hang Low"

Mr. Dinosaur stand up tall and give a "ROAR", (roar loud)

Stomp your feet around, (stomp your feet)

as you thump the ground,

Give your tail a shake, (shake your tail)

and you'll cause an earth quake.

Mr. Dinosaur!
