Song: “If You’re a Unicorn and You Know It”
If you’re a unicorn and you know it, shake your horn,
If you’re a unicorn and you know it, shake your horn,
If you’re a unicorn and you know it, and you really want to show it,
If you’re a unicorn and you know it, shake your horn.

Stamp your hooves
Toss your mane
Twitch your tail
Prance around

One named slow, the other named fast.
Run away slow, run away fast.
Come back slow, come back fast.

Flannel: “I Saw Five Unicorns”
I saw five little unicorns – creatures from folklore.
I watched the blue one prance away, and then there were four.

I saw four little unicorns resting by a tree.
I watched the orange one prance away, and then there were three.

I saw three little unicorns, but as near to them I drew,
The green one pranced away, and then there were two.

I saw two little unicorns – I watched them run and run.
The red one pranced away, and then there was one.

I saw a lonely purple unicorn standing in the sun.
When I blinked my eyes, it pranced away, and then there were none.

Song: Drive, Drive, Drive (tune:”Row, Row, Row Your Boat” )
Drive, drive, drive your truck, All around the town
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, Up the hills and down
Turn, turn, turn the key, Make the engine roar,
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, Let’s go to the store.
Press, press, press the pedal, Give the engine gas,
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, Now we’re going fast.
Turn, turn, turn the wheel, That is how we steer
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, Make a turn right here.
Push, push, push the brake, Make the car slow down.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, Now we are in town.

The wheels on the truck go
Round and round, round and round
The wheels on the truck go round and round
All through the town
The shovel on the truck goes dig dig dig…
The horn on the truck goes beep beep beep…
The plow on the truck goes push push push…

Rhyme: Tiptoe Soft by Margaret Hillert
Tiptoe soft as a pussycat
Soft on little cat feet.
Flap your wings like a baby bird.
Open your beak for a treat.
Clomp, clomp, clomp like a big old horse.
Pick up a hoof, and then
Tip, tip tip on the tips of your toes
Soft as a cat again.
