If you want to hear a story, clap your hands

If you want to hear a story,stomp your feet

If you want to hear a story,stomp your feet

If you want to hear a story, take a seat
If you want to hear a story, take a seat
If you want to hear a story
Make your hands all nice and neat
If you want to hear a story, take a seat

Wiggle

I wiggle my fingers, I wiggle my toes,
I wiggle my shoulders, I wiggle my nose
All the wiggles are gone
I wiggle my fingers, I wiggle my toes,
I wiggle my shoulders, I wiggle my nose,
Now all the wiggles are out of me,
And I am as quiet as can be.

Five Little Fishes
Five little fishes were swimming near the shore
One took a dive then there were four
Four little fishes were swimming out to sea
One went for food then there were three
Three little fishes said, "Now what shall we do?"
One swam away and then there were two
Two little fishes were having great fin
But one took a plunge and then there was one
One little fish said, "I like the warm sun"
And away he went and then there were none

Rhymes
I'm a little fish, I like to swim
You can't catch me cause I have fins
When I swim past my friends, I hear them say
Stop your swimming and come and play

The lobster opens its big claws
Then closes them tight in a bunch
The lobster opens its big claws
And tries to catch its lunch

Craft
