Mary Had a Little Frog [tune: "Mary Had a Little Lamb" ]
Mary had a little frog, little frog, little frog.
Mary had a little frog,it’s skin was green as grass.
And everywhere that Mary went,Mary went, Mary went,
Everywhere that Mary went,the frog would jump and splash.
Five Little Speckled Frogs
Five little speckled frogs sitting on a speckled log [5 fingers on bent arm]
eating the MOST delicious bugs, yum! yum! [pick bugs out of air, rub tummy]
One jumped into the pool, where it was nice and cool, [Finger hops in pool]
Then there were just four speckled frogs! [Continue with four frogs, then three, etc]
Then there were NO more speckled frogs!
The More We Read Together [Tune: The More We Get Together]
The more we read together, together, together,
The more we read together, the better it is!
'Cause reading and singing and talking together,
Is how you learn the six skills for reading by six.
Hope to see you at our next Antioch Preschool Storytime!
