Tune: Are You Sleeping
Flamingos flapping, flamingos flapping,
Big pink wings, big pink wings.
Flying through the sky, flying through the sky.
Time to land! Time to land!  

Flamingos standing, flamingos standing,
On one foot, one one foot,
Sleeping while they’re standing, sleeping while they’re standing,
Time to wake! Time to Wake!

Place the Flamingo up on the board and build the flamingo’s legs based off the number on its wing. If time, have the kids tell you to go from shortest to tallest.
SequencingLifecyle of a Flamingo
Have the kids help you create the life cycle of a flamingo.
ActivityFlamingo Bingo (Letters or Numbers)
I handed out bingo sheets and dot markers. Once a kid has a bingo, kids would stand up on one leg and squawk until all the kids were standing.

I created my own bingo cards.

Dancing around and putting on a show.

Then one pink flaming flew out sight!
