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.

Fingerplay: “Two Little Frogs”
Two little frogs sitting on a hill,
One named Jack and one named Jill.
“Jump,” said Jack. “Jump,” said Jill.
And they both jumped down the great big hill.
Come back, Jack. Come back, Jill.
And they both jumped up the great big hill.
