Songs and rhymes to share:
"Eighteen Flavors" By Shel Silverstein
Eighteen luscious, scrumptious flavors
Chocolate, lime and cherry,
Coffee, pumpkin, fudge banana
Caramel cream and boysenberry.
Rocky road and toasted almond,
Butterscotch, vanilla dip,
Butter brickle, apple ripple,
Coconut and mocha chip,
Brandy peach and lemon custard,
Each scoop lovely, smooth and round,
Tallest ice cream cone in town,
Lying there (sniff) on the ground
Little Miss Muffet
Little Miss Muffet
Sat on her tuffet
Eating some chocolate ice cream
Along came a spider
Who sat down beside her
And said, "Give me some or I will scream!."
Five Ice Cream Cones (count on fingers)
Five little ice cream cones so good to eat.
The first one said, "I'm a summer time treat."
The second one said, "It's such a hot day."
The third one said, "I'm melting away."
The fourth one said, "Don't lose your top."
The fifth one said, "Oh dear , ker-plop!"
