Ten Black Kittens

Ten black kittens standing in a row
(Palms facing forward, fingers extended)
They bow their heads to the children so
(bend fingers forward and back)
They run to the left, they run to the right
(move fingers to alternate sides, wiggling fingers)
The stretch up tall with all their might
(stretch hands over head)
Along comes a dog, looking for some fun
(fingers of one hand resting on thumb, move hand towards other hand)
“Meow!” Away those kittens run!
(As you meow, open both hands with fingers extended, “run” hands behind back)

Five Little Hoot Owls

Five little hoot owls sitting in a tree
One flew away! How many do you see?
Four little hoot owls sitting in a tree
One flew away! How many do you see?

She flew away! Now there are no more to see.

Harold was a happy horse
when hobbling through the hay, of course.
Until he hopped on hefty hen who hollered,
