Flannel board Nursery Rhyme: Jack and Jill

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water

Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill went tumbling after

Then up Jack got and home did trot as fast as he could caper

He went to bed and patched his head

With vinegar and brown paper.

Song- Five Little Monkeys Swinging in a Tree

Five little monkeys swinging in a tree, Teasing the alligators, you can catch me, you can catch me....

Along came a alligator quiet as can be.......

And snapped that monkey right out of that tree!

Four little monkeys swinging in a tree, Teasing the alligators, you can catch me, you can catch me....

Along came a alligator quiet as can be.......

And snapped that monkey right out of that tree!

Three little monkeys swinging in a tree, Teasing the alligators, you can catch me, you can catch me....

Along came a alligator quiet as can be.......

And snapped that monkey right out of that tree!

Two little monkeys swinging in a tree, Teasing the alligators, you can catch me, you can catch me....

Along came a alligator quiet as can be.......

And snapped that monkey right out of that tree!

One little monkey swinging in a tree, Teasing the alligators, you can catch me, you can catch me....

Along came a alligator quiet as can be.......

And snapped that monkey right out of that tree!

No little monkeys swinging in a tree...

Song: Peanut Butter and Jelly

Peanut, Peanut Butter

Peanut, peanut butter. Jelly. Peanut, peanut butter. Jelly.

First you take the peanuts and you dig em, you dig em, you dig em, dig em, dig em.

Then you crush em, you crush em, you crush em, crush em, crush em.

Peanut, peanut butter. Jelly. Peanut, peanut butter. Jelly.

Then you take the berries and you pick em ……

Then you squish em, you squish em…

Then you take the bread and you spread em, you spread em ……

Peanut, peanut butter. Jelly. Peanut, peanut butter. Jelly

Then you take the sandwich and you bite it, you bite it ….

Then you chew it, you chew it, you chew it chew it chew it…

Then you swallow, you swallow, you swallow, swallow, swallow (GULP)

Peanut, peanut butter. Jelly. Peanut, peanut butter. Jelly
