Opening Song

Book: Snakes Have No Legs! by Kelly Tills

Song: “All the Snakes” (Tune: “London Bridge”)
All the snakes are slithering, slithering, slithering.
All the snakes are slithering across the grass.

All the snakes make a hiss, make a hiss, make a hiss.
All the snakes make a hiss, and smile at the sun.

All the snakes smell with their tongues, with their tongues, with their tongues.
All the snakes smell with their tongues, and they can smell you!

Rhyme: “6 Silly Snakes”
One silly snake, alone and blue,
Called for a friend: “Hiss!”, and then there were two.

Two silly snakes, fast as can be,
Called for a friend: “Hiss! Hiss!”, and then there were three.

Three silly snakes, slithering by the door,
Called for a friend: “Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!”, and then there were four.

Four silly snakes, happy and alive,
Called for a friend: “Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!”, and then there were five.

Five silly snakes, doing silly tricks,
Called for a friend: “Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!”, and then there were six.

Six silly snakes, tired of all the fun,
Said time for a nap: “Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!”
And then there were none!

Song: “Zoom, Zoom, Zoom”
Zoom, zoom, zoom,
We’re going to the moon.
Zoom, zoom, zoom,
We’re going to the moon.
If you want to take a trip
climb aboard my rocket ship.
Zoom, zoom, zoom,
We’re going to the moon.
In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1,
Blast off!
