Puppet Song: “Five Green and Speckled Frogs”
Five green and speckled frogs sat on a speckled log,
Eating the most delicious bugs. Yum, yum!
One jumped into the pool, where it was nice and cool.
Now there are four green and speckled frogs.
Repeat, taking a frog away each time until there are no green and speckled frogs.
Flannel: “Ten Little Grasshoppers”
One little, two little, three little grasshoppers,
Four little, five little, six little grasshoppers,
Seven little, eight little, nine little grasshoppers,
Ten grasshoppers in my yard.
Grasshoppers, grasshoppers, hopping all around me, (slap thighs to rhythm)
Grasshoppers, grasshoppers, hopping all around me,
Grasshoppers, grasshoppers, hopping all around me,
Ten grasshoppers in my yard.
Ten little, nine little, eight little grasshoppers,
Seven little, six little, five little grasshoppers,
Four little, three little, two little grasshoppers,
One grasshopper in my yard.
Grasshopper, grasshopper, hopping all around me,
Grasshopper, grasshopper, hopping all around me,
Grasshopper, grasshopper, hopping all around me,
One grasshopper in my yard.

Song: “If You’re Hoppy and You Know It” (Tune: “If You’re Happy and You Know It”)
If you’re hoppy and you know it, give a jump,
If you’re hoppy and you know it, give a jump,
If you’re hoppy and you know it, and you really want to show it,
If you’re hoppy and you know it, give a jump.
Additional verses:
Clap your hands
Stomp your feet

Song: “Little Red Wagon”
Bumpin’ up and down in my little red wagon,
Bumpin’ up and down in my little red wagon,
Bumpin’ up and down in my little red wagon,
Won’t you be my darlin’?
Additional verses:
Goin’ back and forth in my little red wagon…
One wheel’s off and the axle’s broken…
