Songs & Rhymes:

Five Little Cats
Five little cats standing in a row
(hold up five fingers)
They nod their heads to the children so
(bend fingers)
They run to the left, (“run” fingers left)
They run to the right (“run” fingers right)
They stand up and stretch in the bright sunlight
(stretch fingers tall)
Along comes a dog who’s in for some fun
(hold up one finger on other hand)
ME-OW!! See those kittens run!
(fingers run away)

Drive, Drive, Drive
Sung to: "Row, Row, Row Your Boat"
 Drive, drive, drive your car,
 All around the town,
 Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
 Up the hills and down.

 Turn, turn, turn the key,
 Make the engine roar,
 Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
 Let's go to the store.

 Press, press, press the pedal,
 Give the engine gas,
 Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
 Now we're going fast.

 Turn, turn, turn the wheel,
 That is how we steer.
 Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
 Make a turn right here.

 Push, push, push the brake,
 Make the car slow down.
 Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
 Now we are in town!


Five Sugar Cookies
Five sugar cookies with frosting galore,
Mama ate one, and now there are four
Four sugar cookies—two and two, you see?
Daddy ate one, and now there are three
Three sugar cookies, and before I knew
Sister ate one, and now there are two
Two sugar cookies—oh what fun!
Brother ate one, and now there is one
One sugar cookie, I’ll grab it and run
When I eat it, there will be none!
