Six little airplanes flying around

Leaving 5 little airplanes flying around.

Repeat, counting down until there are no airplanes left.

Song: “The Wings On the Airplane” (Tune: “The Wheels On the Bus”)
The wings on the airplane fly, fly, fly,
Fly, fly, fly, Fly, fly, fly.
The wings on the airplane fly, fly, fly,
All through the sky.

Additional verses:
The people on the airplane buckle their seatbelts…
The bags on the airplane stow away…

Rhyme: “The Airplane”
The airplane has great big wings, (arms out at sides)
Its propeller spins around and sings. (move arms in circle)
The airplane goes up, (raise arms)
The airplane goes down, (lower arms)
The airplane flies high (arms out at sides)
Over our town. (turn in a circle with arms out at sides)
