Five Little Astronauts

by admin Leave a Comment

5 Little Astronauts

Five little astronauts, sitting on the stars
The first one said, “Let’s go to Mars!”
The second one said, “There are spaceships in the air!”
The third one said, “But we don’t care!”
The fourth one said, “Let’s fly up in the sky!”
The fifth one said, “Let’s fly, fly, fly!”
Then WHOOSH went the spaceship into the night 
And the five little astronauts zoomed out of sight!

Who Is the Astronaut?

by admin Leave a Comment

Who Is the Astronaut?

Who is the astronaut
With ears so long and funny?
She hops around the rocket ship.
She’s a little bunny!

Who is the astronaut
Jumping on a log?
“Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit!”
It’s a little frog!

Who is the astronaut
With a long tail, of course?
“Neigh, neigh, neigh!”
It’s a little horse!

Who is the astronaut
With four legs and a horn?
We rarely ever see one.
It’s a little unicorn!

This rhyme is a guessing game. Pause after the third line each time to let children guess which animal is the astronaut.

Jump in the Rocket with actions

Jump in the Rocket

Jump in the rocket (bounce child on knee)
We’ll blast off soon!
We’re taking a trip up to the moon.
Up, up, up we climb (lift child higher and higher)
Up to the sky (hold child high in the air)
Isn’t it a lot of fun (bring child back down)
To be able to fly? (bounce child on knee)

Five Astronauts at Play

5 Astronauts at Play

(Tune: “5 Little Ducks Went Out One Day“)

One astronaut went out to play
Upon the great big moon one day.
He had such enormous fun,
That he called for another astronaut to come.

Two astronauts went out to play
Upon the great big moon one day.
They had such enormous fun,
That they called for another astronaut to come.

Three astronauts went out to play
Upon the great big moon one day.
They had such enormous fun,
That they called for another astronaut to come.

Four astronauts went out to play
Upon the great big moon one day.
They had such enormous fun,
That they called for another astronaut to come.

Five astronauts went out to play
Upon the great big moon one day.
They had such enormous fun,
But there weren’t any more astronauts to come.

Five Astronauts at Play was originally published on In the Children’s Room for Flannel Friday
