Five little ducks went out one day

Over the hill and far away

Mother duck said "Quack, quack, quack, quack."

But only four little ducks came back.
Four little ducks went out one day

Over the hill and far away

Mother duck said "Quack, quack, quack, quack."

But only three little ducks came back.
Three little ducks went out one day

Over the hill and far away

Mother duck said "Quack, quack, quack, quack."

But only two little ducks came back.
Two little ducks went out one day

Over the hill and far away

Mother duck said "Quack, quack, quack, quack."

But only one little duck came back.
One little duck went out one day

Over the hill and far away

Mother duck said "Quack, quack, quack, quack."

But none of the five little ducks came back.
Sad mother duck went out one day

Over the hill and far away

The sad mother duck said "Quack, quack, quack."

And all of the five little ducks came back.

5. Fingerplay: Little Duck
I am a little duck that goes quack, quack, quack. (Make hand be duck's mouth and it quacks).

And I've got lots of feathers on my back, back, back. (Wave hands near bottom to indicate tail feathers).

And when I go down to the lake, I wiggle and I wobble and I shake, shake, shake. (Wobble and shake around like a duck).

And when I go to sleep at night, (Pretend to be sleeping with hands as pillows).

I close my eyes very tight.But in the morning when I wake, I wiggle and I wobble and I shake, shake, shake.
