Squirrels

Rhymes/Fingerplays/Songs:

1. This Little Squirrel
This little squirrel said, “Let’s run and play!”
This little squirrel said, “Let’s hunt nuts today!”
This little squirrel said, “Yes, nuts are good.”
This little squirrel said, “Yes, my favorite food.”
This little squirrel said, “Come climb this tree.” (run fingers up other arm, quickly)
And crack these nuts: one, two, three! (clap hands three times)

2. Scurry Little Squirrel (tune: “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”)
Scurry squirrels and don't be slow.
Winters coming, Don't you know?
Scamper, scamper all around.
Bury treasure in the ground.
Scurry Squirrels and don't be slow.
Winters coming, don't you know?

3. Five Little Squirrels
Five little squirrels sitting by the door,
One ran away and then there were four.
Four little squirrels climbing a tree,
One ran away and then there were three.
Three little squirrels with coats so new,
One ran away and then there were two.
Two little squirrrels warming in the sun,
One ran away and leaving only one.
One little squirrel wasn't having any fun,
He ran away and then there were none.
