Song: “The Airplane Song” – Laurie Berkner: Whaddaya Think of That?
Song: “Waddling Penguins” (Tune: “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”)
Penguins, penguins, having fun,
Waddling in the shining sun.
Waddling fast and waddling slow,
Waddling to and waddling fro.
Penguins, penguins, having fun,
Waddling in the shining sun.

Puppet: “The Penguin Went Over the Iceberg” (Tune: “The Bear Went Over the Mountain”)
The penguin went over the iceberg,
The penguin went over the iceberg,
The penguin went over the iceberg
To see what he could see.
But all that he could see,
But all that he could see was
The other side of the iceberg,
The other side of the iceberg,
The other side of the iceberg
Was all that he could see.

Fingerplay: “Two Little Penguins”
Two little penguins sitting on the ice, (hold up two fingers)
One bows once, the other bows twice. (made index fingers bow)
Waddle, little penguins, waddle away. (put fingers behind back)
Come back penguins, time to play! (bring fingers to the front)

Flannel: “Five Perky Penguins”
Five perky penguins
Stood on the shore.
One went for a swim, (swimming motions)
And then there were four.
Four perky penguins,
Looked out to sea. (look around)
One went swimming, (swimming motions)
And then there were three.
Three perky penguins said,
“What can we do?” (shrug shoulders)
One went swimming, (swimming motions)
And then there were two.
Two perky penguins
Sat in the sun. (fan self)
One went swimming, (swimming motions)
And then there was one.
One perky penguin said,
“This is no fun!” (grumpy look)
They went swimming, (swimming motions)
And then there were none.
Rhyme:
I’m a little penguin.
Aren’t I cute? (raise arms as if questioning)
I’m a bird
In a penguin suit. (flap arms at sides)
My suit has thick feathers,
Black and white. (turn around, show off outfit)
I can’t fly,
But I swim all right. (swimming motions)
I can waddle ’round
On my webbed feet. (waddle)
Fresh fish are what
I like to eat! (eating motions)
