Five Brave Knights (Teasing Mr. Dragon)

Five brave knights
On a castle wall
Teasing Mr. Dragon
“You can’t catch us all!
No, you can’t catch us all!”

Along flies Mr. Dragon
With a mighty call
Then snatched that knight
Right off the castle wall.

Four brave knights
On a castle wall
Teasing Mr. Dragon
“You can’t catch us all!
No, you can’t catch us all!”

Along flies Mr. Dragon
With a mighty call
Then snatched that knight
Right off the castle wall.

Three brave knights
On a castle wall
Teasing Mr. Dragon
“You can’t catch us all!
No, you can’t catch us all!”

Along flies Mr. Dragon
With a mighty call
Then snatched that knight
Right off the castle wall.

Two brave knights
On a castle wall
Teasing Mr. Dragon
“You can’t catch us all!
No, you can’t catch us all!”

Along flies Mr. Dragon
With a mighty call
Then snatched that knight
Right off the castle wall.

One brave knight
On a castle wall
Teasing Mr. Dragon
“You can’t catch us all!
No, you can’t catch us all!”

Along flies Mr. Dragon
With a mighty call
Then snatched that knight
Right off the castle wall.

Here is the engine on the track (hold up thumb)
Here is the coal car, just in back (hold up pointer finger)
Here is the boxcar, to carry freight (hold up middle finger)
Here is the mail car, don’t be late! (hold up ring finger)
Way back here at the end of the train (hold up little finger)
Rides the caboose through the sun and the rain.

Five Little Witches

Five little witches standing by the door. (hold up five fingers)
One flew out and then there were four. (Flying motion with hand)
Four little witches standing by a tree. (four fingers)
One went to pick a pumpkin and then there were three. (picking motion with three fingers)
Three little witches stirring their brew. (stir)
One fell in and then there were two. (two fingers)
Two little witches went for a run. (run with fingers)
One got lost and then there was one. (one finger)
One little witch, yes, only one. (one finger)
She cast a spell and now there are none. (make motions as if to cast spell and then put hands in lap).

Snowflakes

Snowflakes

Merry little snowflakes
Falling through the air,
Resting on the steeple
And tall trees everywhere,
Topping roofs and fences,
Capping every post,
Covering the hillside
Where we like to coast.
But when the bright spring sunshine
Says it’s come to stay,
Those merry little snowflakes
Quickly run away.

5 Little Goblins

Five Little Goblins

Five little goblins on a Halloween night
Made a very, very spooky sight.
The first one danced on her tippy-tip-toes.
The second one tumbled and bumped his nose.
The third one jumped high up in the air.
The fourth one walked like a fuzzy bear.
The fifth one sang a Halloween song.
Five little goblins played the whole night long!

Sleepy Fingers

Sleepy Fingers

My fingers are so sleepy,
It’s time they went to bed.
First you, Baby Finger,
Tuck in your little head.
Ring Man, now it’s your turn.
Then comes Tall Man Great.
Pointer Finger, hurry
Because it’s getting late!
Let’s see if they’re all cozy.
No, there’s one more to come.
Move over, Little Pointer,
Make room for Master Thumb!
