Five little monkeys
(5 fingers held over other arm (4 for next verse, etc))

Baa, Baa Black Sheep

Baa, Baa, black sheep,
have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir -
three bags full:

One for the master,
one for the dame,
And one for the little boy
that lives down the lane.

Hey Diddle Diddle

Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon,
The little dog laughed to see such sport,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.

The Bear Went Over the Mountain
(tune: For He's a Jolly Good Fellow)

The bear went over the mountain,
The bear went over the mountain,
The bear went over the mountain,
To see what he could see

To see what he could see,
To see what he could see

The other side of the mountain,
The other side of the mountain,
The other side of the mountain,
Was all that he could see

Was all that he could see,
Was all that he could see,
The other side of the mountain,
Was all that he could see!

Little Bo Peep

Little Bo-peep has lost her sheep,
And doesn't know where to find them.
Leave them alone and they'll come home,
Wagging their tails behind them.
Little Bo-peep fell fast asleep,
And dreamt she heard them bleating;
But when she awoke, she found it a joke,
For they were still a-fleeting.

Then up she took her little crook,
Determined for to find them;
She found them indeed, but it made her heart bleed,
For they'd left all their tails behind them.

Mary Had a Little Lamb

Mary had a little lamb
Whose fleece as white as snow.
And everywhere that Mary went,
The lamb was sure to go!
It followed her to school one day,
which was against the rules.
It made the children laugh and play,
To see a lamb at school.

Where has my dog gone
Oh where oh where has my little dog gone oh where oh where could he be with his ears cut short and his tail cut long oh where oh where could he be

Six little ducks

Six little ducks that I once knew
fat ones, skinny ones, fair ones too
but the one little dick with the feather on his back .
He led the others with a quack, quack, quack!
quack, quack, quack!
quack, quack, quack!
He led the others with a quack, quack, quack!
