Introduction Put Your Finger in the Air by Carole Peterson
Opening RhymeThe Little Skunk
I stuck my head in a little skunk’s hole.
And the skunk said, “Well, bless my soul!”
Take it out (clap-clap)
Take it out (clap-clap)
Re-move it!  
Well, I didn’t take it out, and the little skunk said,
“If you don’t take it out, you’ll wish you had!”
Take it out (clap-clap)
Take it out (clap-clap)
Psss-ssst!
P- U…I removed it too late! (pinch nose with fingers as you say this line)

As cute as can be! (Hold up ten fingers)

Action RhymeThis is the Way the Chicken Moves
This is the way the chicken walks,
Bob the head, chin in front,
Bob the head, chin in the front.
This is the way the chicken stretches,
Flap, flap, flap your wings,
Flap, flap, flap your wings.
This is the way the chicken dances,
Move your tail feathers to the left,
Move your tail feathers to the right.
This is the way the chicken sits,
Fold your legs on the nest like so, Fold your legs on the nest like so.

An alligator went for an elevator ride
Said the elevator operator, “Step inside”

It’s the only alligator elevator in town!
Group ActivityI’m Being Swallowed by a Boa Constrictor by Shel Silverstein (parachute):
I’m being swallowed by a boa constrictor
I’m being swallowed by a boa constrictor
I’m being swallowed by a boa constrictor
And I don’t like it very much!

Oh no, oh no, he swallowed my toe,
he swallowed my toe

Oh gee, oh gee, he’s up to my knee,
he’s up to my knee

Oh fiddle, oh fiddle, he’s reached my middle,
he’s reached my middle

Oh bleck, oh bleck, he’s up to my neck,
he’s up to my neck

Oh dread, oh dread, he swallowed my…. schlirppp!

I used a tunnel as a snake. I slowly moved it up until the “snake” ate me.
