Action Poem: Five Little Elephants
View full imageFive little elephants rowing toward the shore, One fell in and then there were four. Four little elephants climbing up a tree,
One slid down and then there were three. Three little elephants living in the zoo,
One walked away and then there were two.
Two little elephants playing in the sun, One fell asleep and then there was one. One little elephant isn’t any fun, Abra-ca-da-bra! Then there were none!


Song:  Do your Ears Hang Low

Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
Can you tie them in a bow?
Can you throw them o'er your shoulder
Like a Continental Soldier?
