10 Little Ants

1 little, 2 little, 3 little ants (count on fingers)
4 little, 5 little, 6 little ants
7 little, 8 little, 9 little ants
10 little ants underground

They crawl and they crawl and they keep on crawling (walk fingers up arm)
They crawl and they crawl and they keep on crawling
They crawl and they crawl and they keep on crawling
10 little ants underground

Worms

Here are some worms who are oh so sad (hold up 5 fingers)
They’ve lost all the wiggles that they once had
They wonder if you just for today
Would lend them your wiggles so they can play

Wiggle them up and wiggle them down
Wiggle the worms around and round
Wiggle them high and wiggle them low
Wiggle them fast and wiggle them slow
Wiggle them over your shoes and your socks
Then wiggle them back into their box

The Ducks on the Bus (tune: The Wheels on the Bus)

The ducks at the pond go quack, quack, quack
Quack, quack, quack
Quack, quack, quack
The ducks at the pond go quack, quack, quack
All through the pond

(repeat with….)
flap, flap, flap
waddle, waddle, waddle

How it Went: This storytime didn’t go over as well as I hoped. I’m not sure if it was the books, the songs or the group. I had a lot of new faces this week. The kids did love pretending to be ducks and yelling out what mouse should eat next during the “Lunch” flannel board.
