Babies
| Rhyme: "A little Frog" | |

| A little frog in a pond am I, | bounce baby gently on knees or legs |
| Hippity hippity hop, | |
| And I can jump up in the air so high! | lift baby up into air |
| Hippity hippity hop! | continue bouncing |

|
| Here we go to the zoo in the park | Walk with child or hold in arms |
| The zoo in the park, the zoo in the park; | |
| Here we go to the zoo in the park | |
| So early in the morning | |
| This is the way the elephant walks | Swing arms like an elephant's trunk |
| The elephant walks, the elephant walks; | |
| This is the way the elephant walks | |
| So early in the morning. | |
| This is the way the big bear walks | Walk like a big, slow bear |
| The big bear walks, the big bear walks; | |
| This is the way the big bear walks | |
| So early in the morning. | |
| This is the way the kangaroo hops | Hop like a kangaroo |
| The kangaroo hops, the kangaroo hops; | |
| This is the way the kangaroo hops | |
| So early in the morning. | |

| Rhyme: "Five little Fish" | |
| Five little fish, | Hold up five fingers |
| Swimming near the shore, | |
| One took a dive, | Dip hand like a diving fish |
| And then there were four. | Hold up four fingers |
| Four little fish | |
| Swimming out to sea, | |
| One found some food, | |
| And then there were three | Hold up three fingers |
| Three little fish, | |
| Swimming in the blue, | |
| One swam away | |
| And then there were two | Hold up two finger |
| Two little fish | |
| Were having great fun, | |
| But one took a plunge, | |
| And then there was one | Hold up one finger |
| One little fish said, | |
| "I like the warm sun" | |
| It swam away, | |
| And then there were none! | Show empty hand! |
