Cats can meow.
Cats can growl.

5.                  Fingerplay: Kitty Cat, Pounce

Kitty cat, kitty cat (creep fingers)  Sneaks out of the house.

Kitty cat, kitty cat  Creeps up to a mouse

And…pounce! (make “jumping” motion with fingers)

Kitty cat, kitty cat (creep fingers)  Creeps up to a bird.

Kitty cat, kitty cat  Is not even heard

And…pounce! (make “jumping” motion with fingers)

But the mouse ran (make fingers “run”)

And the bird flew away (flap hands)

So kitty cat, kitty cat finds  A ball of yarn (make circle with hands)

To play…pounce! (make “jumping” motion with fingers)

Soft kitty, warm kitty
Little ball of fur. Make fist of left hand for kitty

Flannel Board: Hey Diddle Diddle

Hey diddle diddle,

The cow jumped over the moon

The little dog laughed to see such sport

And the dish ran away with the spoon!
