S-N-A-K-E
(tune: BINGO)
All the Snakes are Slithering
(tune: London Bridge)
All the snakes are slithering,
I had a snake
he was so fast
as fast as snakes can be!
S-N-A-K-E, S-N-A-K-E,
S-N-A-K-E, he is my favorite snake!
I had a snake
he was so green
as green as snakes can be!
S-N-A-K-E, S-N-A-K-E,
S-N-A-K-E, he is my favorite snake!
I had a snake
he waved goodbye
he waved goodbye to me!
S-N-A-K-E, S-N-A-K-E,
S-N-A-K-E, he is my favorite snake!
slithering, slithering.
All the snakes are slithering,
across the grass.
All the snakes make a hiss,
makes a hiss, make a hiss.
All the snakes make a hiss,
and smile at the sun.
Snakes smell with their tongues,
With their tongues, with their tongues.
Snakes smell with their tongues,
and they can smell you!
I’m Bringing Home a Baby Rattlesnake
Snake
Here’s a box
Hold up fist
And here’s a lid
Cover fist with palm of other hand.
I wonder whatever inside is hid?
Pause and peek
Why, it’s a snake!!!
Throw up hands in surprise.
I’m bringing home a baby rattlesnake.
Won’t my mama be so scared she’ll shake.
I’m bringing home a baby rattlesnake,
Hiss, hiss, hiss, hisssss.
I Am a Snake
…standing fingerplay activity
I have no legs. I have no arms.
(arms down close to body)
I can take off my skin.
(pretend to pull off skin)
I wiggle my tongue.
(like this wiggle tongue)
I’m very, very thin.
(hands on ribs, slide them down)
I can open my mouth so wide.
(open mouth)
And eat my dinner whole.
(rub tummy)
I can curl up nice and tight,
(squat down low)
Or stretch out like a pole.
(stretch up tall)
I’m Being Swallowed by
a Boa Constrictor
I’m being swallowed by a boa constrictor,
I’m being swallowed by a boa constrictor,
I’m being swallowed by a boa constrictor,
And I don’t like it that much.
Oh No No No it ate my toe toe toe.
Oh gee gee gee it ate my knee knee
knee.
Oh my my my it ate my thigh thigh thigh.
Oh fiddle fiddle fiddle it ate my middle
middle middle.
Oh heck heck heck it ate my neck neck
neck.
Oh dread dread dread it ate my head
head head.
I’m being swallowed by a boa constrictor,
And I don’t like it that much.
