3.       Fingerplay: Five Ferocious Lions

Deep in the jungle, what did I hear?

Five ferocious lions, roaring loud and clear.

“Roar” said the lions, “Scat” said I.

And one ferocious lion ran away. Goodbye! (Count down to one lion)

Deep in the jungle, what did I hear?

One ferocious lion, roaring loud and clear.

“Roar” said the lion, “Scat” said I.

And the last ferocious lion ran away. Goodbye!

I love to sleep out in the sun, (Rest cheek on folded hands.)
And chase other animals just for fun. (Run in place)

Song: I’m a Lion (to Three Blind Mice)

I'm a lion, I'm a lion

Hear me roar, hear me roar

I love to sleep out in the sun

And chase other animals just for fun

In all the jungle I'm Number One, I'm a lion
