This is big, big, big. (stretch hands far to sides)
This is small, small, small. (cup hands together)
This is short, short, short. (hold palms close vertically)
This is tall, tall, tall. (hold palms far apart vertically)
This is fast, fast, fast. (roll hands quickly)

Flannel Song: “Five Little Dragons”
Five little dragons went out one day,
Over the hills and far away.
Mother dragon said, “It’s time for your snack.”
Only four little dragons came roaring back.
Four little dragons went out one day,
Over the hills and far away.
Mother dragon said, “It’s time for your snack.”
Only three little dragons came roaring back.
Three little dragons went out one day,
Over the hills and far away.
Mother dragon said, “It’s time for your snack.”
Only two little dragons came roaring back.
Two little dragons went out one day,
Over the hills and far away.
Mother dragon said, “It’s time for your snack.”
Only one little dragon came roaring back.
One little dragon went out one day,
Over the hills and far away.
Mother dragon said, “It’s time for your snack.”
But no little dragons came roaring back.
Mother dragon said, “It’s a really good snack!”
And all five little dragons came roaring back.
