Action Poem: Five Frisky Frogs
Five little frisky frogs, hopping on the shore (hold up five fingers)
One hopped into the pond -SPLASH!! (jump out) So then there were just four.
Four little frisky frogs (hold up four fingers)
Climbing up a tree, one fell into the grass, BOOM! (pretend to fall) So then there were just three.
Three little frisky frogs (hold up three fingers)
Bathing in the dew, one caught a sneezy cold A-CHOO (sneeze) So then there were just two.
Two little frisky frogs (hold up two fingers)
Sleeping in the sun, One slept the day away, SNORE! (pretend to sleep) So then there was just one.

So he won't be alone.
