Action RhymeI’m a Little Chicken
[Tune:Little Teapot]
I’m a little chicken, short and fat.
Covered in feathers with a tail in back.
When I get real hungry, I flap my wings,
And look for bugs and yummy things. Source: Handley Regional Library System

Action RhymeLittle Egg
Once there was
A little egg
That jumped down
To the floor.
It started
Rolling all around,
Then rolled
Right out the door!

Have them stop rolling, lie flat, then wiggle their arms and legs all around.
