Five
Little Monkeys
Five
little monkeys swinging from a tree,
(Hold up five fingers.)
Teasing Mr. Alligator, "Can't catch me."
Along came Mr. Alligator quiet as can be,
And snatched a monkey right out of that tree!
(As you continue, hold up appropriate
number of fingers on hand.)
Four little monkeys . . .
Three
little monkeys . . .
Two little monkeys . . .
One little monkey . . .
(After the last monkey, stick thumbs in ears and tease.)
Say, "Missed me, missed me.
Now you gotta kiss me!"

Glue round felt circles to plastic

they act out the song.

Got caught by an amoeba.
Now Cheetah is Velveeta.

Elephants walk like this and that.
They're terribly big and terribly fat.
They have no hands, they have no toes.
But goodness, gracious, what a nose!
Mother
Goony Bird
(Tune: "Father Abraham")
Mother Goony Bird had 7 chicks.
And 7 chicks had Mother Goony Bird.
And they couldn't swim - NO!
And they couldn't fly - NO!
All they did was go like this - right arm.
(Flap right arm.)
Add left arm . . . right foot . . . left foot . . .
(Add other movements.)
Nod your head . . . turn around, sit down!

Use this song to help children line
up or to move to a new activity.
