Rhyme: “There’s Something in My Garden”
There’s something in my garden, now what can it be?
There’s something in my garden, that I really can’t see.
I hear its funny sound…

A Frog is what I found!
Ribbit—Ribbit—Ribbit
Fingerplay: “Here is the Beehive”
Here is the beehive, (make fist)
But where are the bees?
Hidden away where nobody sees.
Soon they’ll come creeping out of the hive.
One! Two! Three! Four! Five! (open hand one finger at a time)
BZZZZZZ!!!!! Back in the hive, bees! (buzz and tickle)
