Up down, turn around
Touch the sky and touch the ground
Wiggle fingers
Wiggle toes
Wiggle shoulders say "Hello"

Book: One Frog Sang by Shirley Parenteau
Counting and frogs all in one!
Action Rhymes:
Croak said the frog, (make croaking sound)
With his golden eyes. (fists up to eyes)
Sitting on a lily pad, (crouch on the ground)
Catching flies. (grab air with hand)
I have a sticky tongue, (stick out tongue)
It's as fast as can be...
And I catch the mosquitos (catch bugs again),
1-2-3. (count on three fingers)

Two little frogs sitting on a hill
One named Jack and one named Jill.
"Jump," said Jack. "Jump," said Jill.
And they both jumped down the great hill.
Come back, Jack. Come back, Jill.
And they both jumped up the great big hill.

Song/Flannel Board: "5 Little Speckled Frogs"
Five little speckled frogs
Sat on a speckled log
Eating some most delicious bugs, YUM YUM!
One jumped into the pool,
Where it was nice and cool,
Then there were four green speckled frogs, GLUB GLUB!
....Now there are no green speckled frogs, GLUB GLUB!

Goodbye Song:
Up down, turn around
Touch the sky and touch the ground
Pat your belly
Blink your eyes
Blow a kiss and say "Goodbye"
