Song
Have You Ever Seen a Bunny?

Have you ever seen a bunny, a bunny, a bunny
Have you ever seen a bunny that hops so slow?
He hops and hops and hops and hops
Have you ever seen a bunny that hops so slow?

So fast?
On one foot?

Five Flowers

Fiver pretty flowers in the meadow grew.
"Hmm," I said, "I bet they smell pretty too."
So I bend down to sniff
But they tickled my nose!
Ah-ah-choo!
Oh, no! Away one flower blows!

Continue down to zero

Song
(using homemade shakers)

Where is shaker?  Where is shaker?
Here I am. Here I am.
How are you today sir?
Very well I thank you.
Run away. Run away.

Song
(using 2 pencils, markers, paint sticks, etc for rhythm sticks)

This is the way we tap our sticks,
Tap our sticks, tap our sticks
This is the way we tap our sticks
So early in the morning.

This is the way we rub our sticks
Rub our sticks, rub our sticks
This is the way we rub our sticks
So early in the morning.

This is the way we tap our knees
Tap our knees, tap our knees
This is the way we tap our knees
So early in the morning.
