I clap my hands

I stamp my feet

I jump up from the ground

I clap my hands

I stamp my feet

And turn myself around

I sit myself right down

I stamp my feet

And now don’t make a sound

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

Fingerplays

The Tightrope Walker

While the band is playing

Back and forth I go

High above the people

Sitting far below

While the crowd is cheering

I sway from side to side

Now my act is over

And down the pole I slide

Under the Big Top

Under the Big Top what do I see?

A great big elephant smiling at me

Next to the elephant what do I see?

A fuzzy brown bear dancing for me

Next to the bear what do I see?

A lion with a mane roaring at me

Next to the lion what do I see?

A little seal doing tricks for me

Five Funny Clowns

Five funny clowns juggling balls galore

One tripped and fell then there were four

Four funny clowns up on a trapeze

One jumped off then there were three

Three funny clowns chewing bubble gum

One left to get some more then there was one

One funny clown having lots of fun

He left the circus tent then there were none

Little Color Clown

Little clown with a big red nose

Little clown with funny clothes

Little clown with a suit of yellow

Little clown a happy fellow

Little clown with a blue pointed hat

Little clown short and fat

Little clown with a fancy green collar

Little clown wants to be taller

Little clown with hair orange and bright

Little clown a jolly good sight

Little clown with two purple feet

Little clown a d real circus treat
