Little Boy/Girl Is Going to Bed
Author unknown – rhyming poem adapted by Liz Buchanan. Make your pointer finger play the part of the child and do the motions for the rhyme with the other hand. Act out a little boy and a little girl.
Little boy is going to bed
On his pillow rests his head
Wrap the covers ‘round him tight
Now he’ll sleep all through the night.
Morning comes and up he goes
Washes up, puts on his clothes
A plate of pancakes he will eat,
Then he brushes all his teeth
Goes along his merry way
All day long, he’ll play and play!
Four Little Icicles
By Liz Buchanan. Count out four fingers then point them down. On the crash, clap your hands and say the word extra loud!
Four little icicles, hanging around
Four little icicles, pointing down
If one comes loose & goes CRASH to the ground
Then there’ll be three little icicles hanging around
Three little icicles, hanging from the roof
I hope another one doesn’t fall off!
But if one comes loose, and goes CRASH to the ground
Then there’ll be two little icicles, hanging around
Two little icicles, shining bright and clear
Two little icicles, dripping like a tear
But if one comes loose, and goes CRASH to the ground
Then there’ll be one little icicle, hanging around
One little icicle, all alone
One little icicle, shining in the sun
But if that one comes loose, and goes CRASH to the ground
Then there are no more icicles hanging around.
I hope spring comes soon!
