Flannel:  Five Little Dragons
One little dragon with scales of blue;
Ran to meet the green one,
And then there were two.
Two little dragons sitting under a tree;
The red dragon joined them,
And then there were three.
Three little dragons, wishing there were more;
Along came the purple dragon,
And then there were four.
Four little dragons, happy to be alive;
Found a orange dragon,
And then there were five.
Five little dragons all out to play;
“Watch out, they breathe fire,” is all I have to say.

Song:  “Dragon, Dragon, Turn Around”
Dragon, dragon, turn around
Dragon, dragon, touch the ground
Dragon, dragon, fly up high
Dragon, dragon, touch the sky

Dragon, dragon, swing your tail
Dragon, dragon, shake your scales
Dragon, dragon, give a ROAR
Dragon, dragon, sit on the floor

Little dragon counts to three,
Little dragon bends one knee.

Song:  Going on a Dragon Hunt

Going on a Dragon Hunt, going to catch a big one,
I’m not afraid, What a beautiful day!

Uh-oh
Grass!
Long, wavy grass!
We can’t go over it!
We can’t go under it!
We’ve got to go through it!
Swish! Swish!

A forest!
A big, scary forest!
Clomp! Clomp!

A moat!
A deep, cold moat!
Splash! Splash!

Mud!
Thick, oozing mud!
Squish! Squish!

A cave!
A deep, dark cave!
Tiptoe! Tiptoe!
IT’S A DRAGON!

Quick, back through the cave!
Back through the mud!
Back through the moat!
Back through the forest!
And sit down, safely back in our seats.

Song:  Castle Capers

I am the king of running,
I run and run and run.
My subjects all run with me,
And we have so much fun!

I am the prince of turning,
I turn and turn and turn.
My subjects all turn with me
It’s an easy thing to learn!

I am the princess of dancing,
I dance and dance and dance
My subjects all dance with me
And dance when they get the chance!

I am the Queen of jumping,
I jump and jump and jump.
My subjects all jump with me
And sit down with a bump.

Fierce is the dragon

Happy is the king
