3.     Fingerplay: Five Green Dragons

Five green dragons making such a roar.
One danced away and then there were four.
Four green dragons dancing around a tree.
One danced away and then there were three.
Three green dragons dancing around you.
One danced away and then there were two.
Two green dragons dancing in the sun.
One danced away and then there was one.
One green dragon having lots of fun
She danced away and then there were none.

Nursery Rhyme:  Oh Where oh Where Can My Little Dog Gone

Oh where, oh where can he be?
