“Little Bird”
sung to the melody of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
Little Bird, little bird, fly around,
Up to the sky, down to the ground.
Little bird, little bird, flap your wings,
Open your beak and sweetly sing.
Little bird, little bird, fly to your nest.
Now it is time to take a rest.

“Five Little Ducks”
Five little ducks
Went out one day,
Over the hill and far away.
Mother duck said,
“Quack, quack, quack.”
But only four little ducks came back.
Sad mother duck
Went out one day,
Over the hill and far away.
The sad mother duck said,
“Quack, quack, quack.”
And all of the five little ducks came back.
Four little ducks
Went out one day,
Over the hill and far away.
Mother duck said,
“Quack, quack, quack.”
But only three little ducks came back.
[Shout, “Hooray!”]
Three little ducks
Went out one day,
Over the hill and far away.
Mother duck said,
“Quack, quack, quack.”
But only two little ducks came back.
Two little ducks
Went out one day,
Over the hill and far away.
Mother duck said,
“Quack, quack, quack.”
But only one little duck came back.
One little duck
Went out one day,
Over the hill and far away.
Mother duck said,
“Quack, quack, quack.”
But none of the five little ducks came back.

“Five Green Speckled Frogs”
Five green speckled frogs
Sat on a speckled log
Eating the most delicious bugs.
Yum! Yum!
One jumped into the pool
Where it was nice and cool.
Now, there are four green speckled frogs.
Glub! Glub!
Four green speckled frogs
Sat on a speckled log
Eating the most delicious bugs. Yum! Yum!
One jumped into the pool
Where it was nice and cool.
Now, there are three green speckled frogs.
Glub! Glub!
Two green speckled frogs
Sat on a speckled log
Eating the most delicious bugs. Yum! Yum!
One jumped into the pool
Where it was nice and cool.
Now, there is one green speckled frog.
Glub! Glub!
One green speckled frog
Sat on a speckled log
Eating the most delicious bugs. Yum! Yum!
It jumped into the pool
Where it was nice and cool.
Now, there are no more speckled frogs.
Glub! Glub!
Three green speckled frogs
Sat on a speckled log
Eating the most delicious bugs. Yum! Yum!
One jumped into the pool
Where it was nice and cool.
Now, there are two green speckled frogs.
Glub! Glub!

“Itsy Bitsy Spider”
The itsy bitsy spider
Climbed up the waterspout.
Down came the rain
And washed the spider out.
Out came the sun
And dried up all the rain.
And the itsy bitsy spider
Climbed up the spout again.
