Five Little Cats  counting and action rhyme
1 little cat wondering what to do
Along came another and then there were 2
2 little cats climbing a tree
Along came another and then there were 3
3 little cats knocking at the door
Along came another and then there were 4
4 little cats glad to be alive
Along came another and then there were 5
5 little cats having so much fun
Along came a dog and then there were none

Fingerplay
Five Little Kittens all in a Row
5 little kittens all in a row,
They nod their heads to the people just so.
They run to the left and they run to the right.
They stand and stretch in the bright sunlight.
Along comes a dog who wants some fun.
Meow! Meow! See the kittens run.
