Rhyme: 10 Vegetables
I have ten little vegetables,
And they all taste yummy to me.
They grow everywhere,
Would you like to see?
I can pick them from up high,
I can pick them from down low.
I can chop them and put them in a pot,
And cook them nice and slow.

Rhyme: Five fat peas
Five plump peas in a peapod pressed (press two fists together)
One grew, two grew, so did all the rest (fingers gradually pop up from fist)
They grew and they grew and they did not stop (slowly, spread hands farther & farther apart)
Until one day the pod went POP! (bring hands together with a big clap!)
