Rhyme: “Jello in the Bowl” (tune: A Hunting We Will Go)
Jello in the bowl, jello in the bowl,
Wibble, wobble, wibble, wobble,
Jello in the bowl.
Cookies in the jar, cookies in the jar,
Shake ‘em up, shake ‘em up,
cookies in the jar.
Candles on the cake, candles on the cake,
Blow ‘em out, blow ‘em out,
candles on the cake.

Flannel: “Five Candles”
Five candles on a birthday cake
Five, and not one more
You may blow one candle out,
Now there are four!
(There for all to see / three; Standing straight and true / two; Helping us have fun / one; We know its task is done / none)

Song: “If You’re Happy and You Know It”
If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands,
If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands,
If you’re happy and you know it, and you really wanna show it,
If you’re happy and you know it, clap you’re hands
Repeat with:
Stomp your feet
Blow out the candles
Shout “Hooray”

Count back down from 10
