Ten little gingerbreads all standing in a line.
One saw a mouse, and then there were nine.
Nine little gingerbreads, not one could wait.
They crossed a big puddle, and then there were eight.
Eight little gingerbreads rushed home at eleven.
Didn't see the patch of ice, and then there were seven.

Five Little Cookies
Five little cookies on the oven floor
The first one peeked out of the door
The next one wanted to eat cake
The third one not a sound did make
The fourth one said he smelled cheese
The fifth heard someone sneeze
So hurry get away he cried
When the door opened, she ran outside.
Ginger Cookies Two by Two
Ten ginger cookies on a big plate
Two were eaten
Then there were eight.
Eight little cookies stood still as sticks
Two more were eaten, now there were six.
Six ginger cookies with eyes that were blue.
Two more eaten, now there were two.
Two ginger cookies ran away in the sun
A fox ate them, so now there were none.
Two Little Ducks
Two little ducks that I once knew (extend index and middle fingers)
Fat ducks, skinny ducks, there were two. (hold up same two fingers)
But the one little duck with the feathers on his back, (emphasize index finger)
He led the other with a quack, quack, quack. (bend arms, tuck hands, flap up and down)
One Little Gingerbread by Laura Richards
One little gingerbread swinging from a tree
Teasing the sly fox, merry as can be
Swinging high, swinging low, swinging left and right
Dear old Mr. Fox, come and take a bite.
One little gingerbread, swinging in the air;
Head up, legs out, little does he care.
Swinging up, swinging down, swinging far and near
Poor Mr. Sly Fox, are you hungry dear?
Counting Out Rhyme
Hinty, minty, cuty, corn,
Apple seed and apple thorn,
Wire, briar, limber lock
Three geese in a flock.
One flew east, and one flew west.
One flew over the cuckoo's nest.
Spanish Rhyme for Picking Sides or Choosing Parts
Al subir a un caballo (I climbed on a horse)
Una pulga me pico (Got bitten by a flea)
La agarre de las nariz (Grabbed it by the nose)
Pero se me escapo (But it got away from me) |
