Song: “Crocodile Family, Don’t You Bite” (Tune: “Frère Jacques”)
Baby crocodile, baby crocodile, (pinch thumb and forefinger together like a crocodile mouth)
Don’t you bite, don’t you bite, (hold forefinger up and wave back and forth in a no-no motion)
I can run away from you, I can run away from you, (run in place or, if sitting, drum hands on thighs)
Out of sight, out of sight. (cover eyes with hands, like peek-a-boo)
Additional verses:
Mommy crocodile (place hands together, hold flat, open and close)
Daddy crocodile (hold arms out like a mouth, clap hands as you bring your arms together and apart)
Book: Crocodile or Alligator? by Susan Kralovansky
Flannel: “Five Hungry Alligators”
Five hungry alligators lying on the shore,
A fish swims by, and now there are four.
Four hungry alligators lying by a tree,
A fish swims by, and now there are three.
Three hungry alligators swimming in a pool,
A fish swims by, and now there are two.
Two hungry alligators soaking up some sun,
A fish swims by, and now there is one.
One hungry alligator looking for some fun,
A fish swims by, and now there are none!
