Animals
Flannel board: Five Fluffy Sheep
Five fluffy sheep were drinking from a trough.
Bah, bah, bah, they said, "This water hits the spot"
One had his fill and so he trotted off..
How many sheep are left, drinking from the trough?
(four fluffy sheep, three, two, one...)
Flannel board: Five Pink Piggies
Five pink piggies sheep were eating from a trough.
Oink, oink, oink they said, "This is good slop"
One had his fill and so he trotted off..
How many piggies were left, eating from the trough?
(four pink piggies, three, two, one...)
SONG: Little Kitten
(Tune: Frere Jacques)
Little Kitten, Little Kitten
Sitting up so tall
Give a tiny meow, give a tiny meow
Share your call, share your call
( Little kitten/ Give an angry hiss…
Big Strong Lion/ Give a mighty roar…)
Action Rhyme: Elephants
A big, grey elephant walks around
Stomping, stomping, stomping the ground.
When it gets too hot, he'll flap his ears
And this cools him down from his feet to his rear.
His tail waggles, he feels so relaxed.
Time to eat, there's a perfect spot of grass.
His grey trunk reaches down to the floor,
Swishing right, then left, the right once more.
He grabs some grass, brings it up to his mouth
And you know what he says?
Mmm Mmm Mmm, that's yummy!
Insects
Rhyme: Bumblebee, Bumblebee
Bumblebee, Bumblebee, flying around
Bumblebee, Bumblebee, what's that sound?
Bumblebee, Bumblebee, come closer so I can hear.
Bumblebee, Bumblebee, whisper in my ear.
Bumblebee, Bumblebee says buzz, buzz, buzz
But tickles my neck, because he's covered in fuzz.
Amphibian
SONG: In the Water of a Shallow Lake
In the water of a shallow lake, (crouch on the ground)
A tiny egg begins to shake. (shaking)
A tadpole hatches and it looks like this (stand up straight with our feet together)
With a giant head, that’s hard to miss. (hands in circle overhead)
But then…
Two Legs, (jump out with two legs)
Two arms, (lower arms)
His tail disappears (shake butt)
What animal is it now? It’s a frog!

Song: The Rain Is Falling Down (Mail Song)
(tune: The Farmer In The Dell)
The snow is floating down (shiver)
Historical Figures
Action Rhyme: Columbus, Columbus
Columbus, Columbus, sailing the seas (pilot a boat)
Columbus, Columbus, searching for the Indies (look in the distance)
The Nina, The Pinta, The Santa Maria (count with fingers)
Finding land to claim for the glory of Spain. (Superman pose or pretend to plant flag in ground?)
Action Rhyme: Johnny Appleseed
Johnny grabbed his bag of seeds
And he donned his cooking pot hat.
Walking west
He didn't rest
Because planting appleseeds was his quest.
Mythical Creatures
Song: Does Your Dragon Fly Low?
(tune: Do Your Ears Hang Low; by a coworker)
Does your dragon fly high? (Fly hand high)
Does your dragon fly low? (fly hand low)
Does it breathe out fire (flutter hands in front of mouth)
Till you tell it "No, No!" (shake finger)
Does it stomp into its cave (stomp feet)
Looking scary and brave? (make scary face or brave stand)
Does your dragon fly low? (fly hand low)
