Song: “The Tail of a Pig” (Tune: “The Wheels on the Bus”)
The tail of a pig curls round and round… (circle finger round and round) All through the mud.
The mouth of a pig goes oink, oink, oink… (put hand in front of mouth like a snout)
The snout of a pig goes root, root, root…(act with snout and hands like you are rooting through the mud)
The trotters of a pig go run, run, run…
The ears of a pig go twitch, twitch, twitch…
Book: Pigs by Wendy Strobel Dieker
Flannel: Five pigs so squeaky clean
Cleanest that you’ve ever seen
Wanted to outside and play (IN THE MUD)
One jumped into the mud
Landed with a great big thud
Then there were four clean squeaky pigs (Oink, oink!)
Rhyme: Little Pig, Little Pig, turn around
Little Pig, Little Pig, touch the ground
Little Pig, Little Pig, reach up high
Little Pig, Little Pig, wink one eye
Little Pig, Little Pig, touch your nose
Little Pig, Little Pig, touch your toes
Little Pig, Little Pig, slap your knees
Little Pig, Little Pig, sit down please
