~A Little Ball~

A little ball

A larger ball

The largest ball I see

One, two, three

~Three Little Monkeys~

Three little monkeys jumpin' on the bed,

one fell off and bumped and his head,

Mama called the doctor,

and the doctor said,

No more monkeys jumpin' on the bed

Two little monkeys jumpin' on the bed,

one fell off and bumped and his head,

Mama called the doctor,

and the doctor said,

No more monkeys jumpin' on the bed

One little monkey jumpin' on the bed,

he fell off and bumped and his head,

Mama called the doctor,

and the doctor said,

No more monkeys jumpin' on the bed

One, two, three, four, five, (extend fingers one at a time)

buzz, buzz, buzz (wiggle your fingers

~Ten Little Indians~

(Hold up your fingers as you count the little Indians

One little, two little, three little Indians

four little, five little, six little Indians,

seven little, eight little, nine little Indians,

ten little Indian friends
