5 Fast Rockets

One fast rocket blasting off to space.
Here comes another one.
Now they can race.

Two fast rockets blasting off to space.
Here comes another one.
Now they can race.

Three fast rockets blasting off to space.
Here comes another one.
Now they can race.

Four fast rockets blasting off to space.
Here comes another one.
Now they can race.

Five fast rockets; Let the race begin.
They’ll circle the moon,
Then home they’ll zoom!
Who do you think will win?

Waddling Penguins

Waddling Penguins

Penguins, penguins having fun
Waddling in the winter sun.
Waddling fast and waddling slow
Waddling to and waddling fro.
Penguins, penguins having fun
Waddling in the winter sun.

I Know a Little Penguin

I know a little penguin
Who sat upon some blocks
He swam in the water
And climbed on some rocks.
He snapped at a seagull
He snapped at a seal.
He snapped at a fish.
What a tasty meal.

Many Kinds of Mittens

Stripes or dots or sparkling white,
Mittens in winter fit just right.
Wool and cotton, maybe leather
Keep us warm in cold weather.
In rainbow colors and darkest black,
They fit in a pocket or in your pack.
Thumbs alone, fingers together
We love mittens in cold, cold weather.

10 Warm Mittens

Ten warm mittens, hanging on the line,
One blows away and then there are nine.

Nine warm mittens, one without a mate,
A squirrel carries one away and that leaves eight.

Eight warm mittens bathed in sunshine that comes from heaven
One gets buried in the snow and that leaves seven.

Seven warm mittens, cold hands they will fix.
I’ll pick the red one and that leaves six.

Six warm mittens then one takes a dive,
A fox grabs it from the ground and that leaves five.

Five warm mittens, we had ten before!
A fluffy bunny needs one and that leaves four!

Four warm mittens, two for you and two for me
I lost one on the ski slope and that leaves three.

Three warm mittens, looking very new,
One falls into the mud and that leaves two.

Two warm mittens, drying in the sun,
A bird comes down and snatches it and that leaves one.

One warm mitten, what good is one?
A little mouse can have a bed, and that leaves none!

Fingers all together.

Furry mittens, soft mittens,
Which ones are for you?

One Little Penguin

One little penguin in the snow
Waddles fast and waddles slow,
Flaps his wings and calls, “Come on,
Join me for some winter fun!”

Give each child a penguin. Have a child bring up the penguin at the beginning of each repetition. Count all the penguins and then repeat again. Can be sung to the tune “Five Little Ducks“

Six Little Penguins

Their suits are black and their vests are white.
They waddle to the left and they waddle to the right.
They stand on the ice and they look very neat.
As they waddle along on their little flat feet.

Six little penguins off an iceberg did dive.
One bumped his beak, then there were five.

Five little penguins swam the ocean floor.
One chased a whale, then there were four.

Four little penguins spun around, whee-ee!
One spun away, then there were three.

Three little penguins with nothing to do,
One went fishing, then there were two.

Two little penguins having lots of fun.
One fell off, then there was one.

One little penguin, when the day was done,
Went home to sleep, then there were done.
