Elephants in the Bathtub
One elephant in the bathtub
Going for a swim
Knock, knock (clap twice)
Splash, splash (slap knees 2x)
Come on in!

Five elephants in the bathtub
Going for a swim
Knick, knock
Splash, splash
They all fell in! (knock the felt pieces down)

Rhyme
The Elephant
An elephant has a great
big trunk
That goes swinging to & fro
And he has tiny, tiny eyes,
That show him where to go.
His great big ears go flopping,
Flopping all around
While his great big feet go stomping,
STOMPING on the ground!
That goes swinging to & fro
And he has tiny, tiny eyes,
That show him where to go.
His great big ears go flopping,
Flopping all around
While his great big feet go stomping,
STOMPING on the ground!

Parent Tip
Storybooks are not the only option of reading material
for young children. You can pair a
picture book with information books written for specially for
preschoolers. Reading informational
books, such as Ella the Elephant can enlarge your child’s background knowledge. Background knowledge is an important early
literacy skill that is a foundation for future learning.

Five Little Elephants
One little elephant went out to play
On a bright and sunny day
He had such E-NOR-MOUS fun
He called another elephant to come
EL-E-PHANT!
On a bright and sunny day

Continue adding elephants to five and end with:
They played and played til the day was done!
