ü Ten Little Frogs (p.72) Virginia Pavelko

Act it out! (Can use a frog stuffed animal)

Ten little speckled frogs, Sat on a speckled log,

Catching some most delicious bugs, yum yum.

One jumped into the pool, Where it was nice a cool,

And there were nine green speckled frogs, glub glub.

*Have ten students (or improvise) stand in a line and act out the song

Yum Yum à rub belly

Jumped into the pool à one less frog in line

ü I Like Bugs (p. 74) L.B.F

Piggy back song; tune of Frère Jacques

Bugs are crawling, Bugs are crawling,

On the wall, On the wall,

Look at all their legs go, Look at all their legs go,

I like bugs, I like bugs.

Some are fat, Some are fat,

Some are thin, Some are thin,

Some are fuzzy wuzzy, Some are fuzzy wuzzy,

I like bugs, I like bugs.

Some are black, Some are black,

Some are brown, Some are brown

Some are green and speckled, Some are green and speckled,

I like bugs, I like bugs.

*Create a harmony round about

*If need to cover ears to tune out the other parts

ü Five Enormous Dinosaurs (p.78)

Five enormous dinosaurs

Letting out a roar;

One went away,

And then there were four.

-
Four enormous dinosaurs

Munching on a tree;

One went away,

And then there were three.

Three enormous dinosaurs

Didn’t know what to do;

One went away,

And then there were two.

Two enormous dinosaurs

Having lots of fun;

One went away,

And then there was one.

One enormous dinosaur

Afraid to be a hero;

He went away,

And then there was – zero!

*good song for rhyming words, and number concepts (counting backwards)

*Can use dinosaur puppets (act it out!)

ü We’re off to Catch a Dragon (p. 78-79) Ester Hauser Laurence

We’re off to catch a dragon, and how will we catch one?

We’ll make a fancy dragon trap with lots of rope and string

We’ll bait it with a carrot or maybe a parrot,

Then stand behind a great big rock and wait for it to spring

We’re off to catch a dragon, a dragon, a dragon.
We’ll put him in our wagon and drag our dragon home.
