Five elephants in the bathtub,

Going for a swim.

Five Dirty/Clean Pigs (double-sided flannel):

Five little piggies rolled in the mud, (roll hands)

Squishy, squashy, felt so good. (squish "mud" with hands)

Along came the farmer to take one piggy out, (turn one pig over)

"Oink, oink, oink," that piggy did shout.

Count down...four, three, two, one...

No more piggies rolled in the mud,

They felt so nice and clean and good.

The farmer turned his back and then,

Those piggies rolled in the mud again! (turn piggies over to dirty side)

Rub-a-Dub-Dub What Goes in the Tub? (flannel game):

I laminated pictures of different items (a refrigerator, a wash cloth, shampoo, soap, a flower pot, etc.) and asked the Preschool-aged crowd if that was something they would take in the tub with them.
