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!

Looking at the glow of each other’s light.

With a great big sneeze!

Five Little Insects

Original rhyme by Amber Passey

Five little insects
Talking late one night,
The first one said,
You gave us quite a fright!
The second one said,
Was it when I went bright?
The third one said,
No, I don’t think that’s right.
The fourth one said,
Not when there was light.
The fifth one said,
When you were out of sight!

Oh no! Said the Firefly,
Try as I might,
I can’t stop blinking
My little light.

Five little kitty cats sleeping on the floor
One pounced away, and now there are four!

Four little kitty cats, cute as can be,
One leapt away, and now there are three!

Three little kitty cats, hunters through and through,
One caught a mouse, and now there are two!

Two little kitty cats, basking in the sun,
One slinked away, and now there’s only one!

One little kitty cat got up to stretch and yawn,
I looked away…and now he’s gone!

Way Up High in the Apple Tree

Way up high in the apple tree (reach up high, spread fingers pretending to be a tree)
Five little apples smiled down at me (Put fingers on cheeks make smile or make circles with hands and put around eyes, like pretending to have binoculars)
I shook that tree as hard as I could (pretend to shake the tree)
Down came the apples (bring hands down wiggling fingers, like failing rain)
Mmmmm, they were good! (rub tummy)

Way up high in the apple tree
Four little apples smiled down at me
I shook that tree as hard as I could
Down came the apples
Mmmmm, they were good!

Three little apples smiled down at me
I shook that tree as hard as I could
Down came the apples
Mmmmm, they were good!

Way up high in the apple tree
Two little apples smiled down at me
I shook that tree as hard as I could
Down came the apples
Mmmmm, they were good!

Way up high in the apple tree
One little apple smiled down at me
I shook that tree as hard as I could
Down came that apple
Mmmmm, it was good!

Now the apples are all gone!
