Fingerplay - Five Little Bunnies

Five little bunnies standing by the door,
One hopped away, and then there were four.
Four little bunnies sitting near a tree,
One hopped away, and then there were three.
Three little bunnies looking at you,
One hopped away and then there were two.
Two little bunnies enjoying the sun,
One hopped away, and then there was one.
One little bunny sitting all alone,
He hopped away, and then there were none! (Hold up open hand and bend down one finger with each verse.)

Song: Raindrops
Raindrops, raindrops! Falling all around (move fingers to imitate falling rain)
Pitter-patter on the rooftops, (tap softly on desk or floor)
Pitter-patter on the ground.
Here is my umbrella; It will keep me dry. (hands over head)
When I go walking in the rain, I hold it up so high. (raise hands in the air)

Pitter-patter, raindrops! Falling from the sky; (wiggle fingers to imitate falling rain)
Here is my umbrella To keep me safe and dry! (hands over head)
When the rain is over, And the sun begins to glow, (make a large circle with arms)
Little flowers start to bud, (cup two hands together) And grow, and grow, and grow!
