Rhymes/Fingerplays/Songs:
The Squirrel and the Acorns:
Down around the corner by the big oak tree
Sat five little acorns as tasty as can be.
Along came a squirrel with a big bushy tail.
He took one acorn and ran off down the trail.
Count down 4, 3, 2, 1...
Source: One of my LA's found this rhyme but I changed the words slightly.
*I used laminated acorns and squirrel puppet for this particular rhyme.
Pumpkin, Pumpkin:
Pumpkin, pumpkin, on the ground (touch ground)
How'd you get so big and round? (make a big circle)
Once you were a seed so small (pinch fingers together)
Now you are a great big ball (make a big circle over head)
Pumpkin, pumpkin, on the ground (touch ground)
How'd you get so big and round? (make a big circle)

*I also found a version from Jbrary that uses sign language.
Five Hoot Owls:
Five hoot owls, sitting in a tree.
One flew away!
Now how many do you see?
One, two, three, four...(continue to count down)
