Action | Birthdays If your birthday is in January, turn around. If your birthday is in February, touch the ground. If your birthday is in March, march along. If your birthday is in April, sing a song. If your birthday is in May, wiggle your nose. If your birthday is in June, shake your toes. If your birthday is in July, jump up high. If your birthday is in August, reach the sky. If your birthday is in September, tap your shoe. If your birthday is in October, call out “Boo!” If your birthday is in November, tickle your ears. If your birthday is in December, give three cheers. (hip, hip, hooray!)Source: Sunflower Stortyime |

CRUNCH [I act like I’m eating one and then put it behind the felt board]… and then there were four.Four little candies, sweet as could be. CRUNCH… and then there were three. Three little candies, red, pink, and blue. Two little candies, melting in the sun. One little candy, looking so yummy. Source: Abby the Librarian |
