10 Eagle Feathers

Gummy Bear

Gummy bear is glad to be

Here today with you and me

He/she can dance and turn around

Hide from you, jump up and down

Gummy bear sit on my knee

Tell me child's name, what color is he/she?

I do a polar bear and a butterfly variation on this as well. You could almost use anything you want with this color rhyme, Jack o' Lanterns, Turkey Friends, Santa's Elf, Valentine (hearts), Leprechaun (coordinate with rainbows), Easter Bunny, Swimmy Fish... I seriously could go on and on.

Pumpkins in the Patch

 

 

 

Pumpkins, pumpkins in the patch

Pumpkins, pumpkins on the vine

There are five, round and orange

I'll take one,

and it is mine!

(Continue until all pumpkins are gone)

Batty Bats

 

 

Five batty bats flying all around

One batty bat heard a far off sound

That batty flew far away

Now he/she is not here to play

Continue to count down

 

 

Variation:

1.) Instead of 5 bats, give each child a bat and use the number of children you have.  Count down from there.

2.) Use color bats:

      5 colorful bats flying all around

      (or however many colors you want)

      The red little bat heard a far off sound

     Etc...

 

Turkey Feathers

 

 

Turkey Feathers
 

Mr. Turkey was so sad,
 He lost the feathers he once had.
 Now he wants us to help him find
 All the feathers of his kind.

 We will look high and low,
 We will find them don't you know.
 Here's a red one and a blue
 Look, we've found a green one too.

Here's an orange one and a yellow,
Soon he'll be a feathered fellow.
 Now we've found the purple one,
 Black and white -- we're almost done.

If we just look up and down,
I know we'll find the feather brown.
Now Mr. Turkey is so glad,
We found the feathers he once had.

Little Acorn

Little Acorn 

The squirrel, nest, and leafy shade are all separate pieces

Little Acorn

Little acorn on the ground

If you’re lucky and you’re not found

If squirrel and children leave you be

Someday you’ll grow to be a tree

Children will play in your leafy shade

Squirrels will hide in the nests they’ve made

Oh how happy we will be

We let you grow into a tree

Squeaky Clean Pigs

The pigs are clean on one side and dirty on the back

(to the tune of Green & Speckled Frogs)

Squeaky Clean Pigs

Five pigs so squeaky clean

Cleanest pigs you’ve ever seen

Wanted to go outside and play

Oink, oink

One jumped into the mud

Landed with a great big THUD!

Now there are 4 clean squeaky pigs
