Four counting rhymes for circle time plus puppets
Download these resources to make some fun activities for flannel boards, magnetic boards, and other group teaching props.  I have also included b/w versions so the children can make the characters themselves. The words to the rhymes are well-known, but I have added them anyway.

General directions: 
  • Print on cardstock and laminate for group use
  • Back with felt or Velcro piece for flannel board
  • Magnetic tape on back for magnetic board
  • Tape on small craft stick to make stick puppets

Click on the title of each rhyme to download the file.

five little ducks

5 little ducks rhyme and characters
5 little ducks went out one day,
Over the hills and far away.
Mother duck said, "Quack, quack, quack quack",
But only 4 little ducks came back.

Continue until 0 little ducks come back, and then have them all come back. Have Mother Duck become progressively sadder, and then delightfully happy!

Five little penguins

5 little penguins standing in a row.
5 little penguins standing in the snow.

Five little monkeys

5 little monkeys rhyme and characters for preschool

Five little speckled frogs

5 little frogs rhyme and characters for preschool
5 little speckled frogs, sat on a speckled log,
Eating some most delicious bugs (yum, yum),

Thank you! Covid has shut down schools in my state. Printing for a grandson who can't go to preschool. You are amazing!

I am not familiar with the penguin rhyme. I'm assuming it continues as the numbers decrease, but how does it end?
