Counting Storytime

This week I did this storytime on both preschool days.  With it being Thanksgiving week the groups have been fairly small.

Songs

Five Little Ducks

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear--Counting Variation 
1 bear, 1 bear turn around
2 bears, 2 bears touch the ground
3 bears, 3 bears dance on their toes
4 bears, 4 bears touch their nose
5 bears, 5 bears reach up high
6 bears, 6 bears touch the sky
7 bears, 7 bears bend down low
8 bears, 8 bears touch their toe
9 bears, 9 bears jump up now
10 bears, 10 bears take a bow
11 bears, 11 bears stomp their feet
12 bears, 12 bears take their seat

I did a few Thanksgiving songs on Wednesday

10 Little Turkeys

1 little, 2 little, 3 little turkeys
4 little, 5 little, 6 little turkeys
7 little, 8 little, 9 little turkeys
10 little turkeys.

Run, run, run little turkeys
Run, run, run little turkeys
Run, run, run little turkeys
Thanksgiving's almost here!

Five Turkeys
(tune: My Bonnie)

5 turkeys were getting quite nervous
Thanksgiving soon would be back
So one turkey put on a duck suit
And now he says, "Gobble, gobble, QUACK!"

Continue counting down.
