Five Green and Speckled Frogs
Five green and speckled frogs sat on a speckled log eating some most delicious bugs — YUM YUM!
One jumped into the pool where it was nice and cool.
Then there were four green and speckled frogs.
Repeat with 4, 3, 2 and 1
Marco the Polar Bear
Marco the polar bear as white as the snow.
Sat on the ice near the cold waters flow.
“Dinner! I need dinner!” he said.
He made a wish!
Then stuck his paw in and came up with a…FISH!
What color was the fish?
(repeat rhyme using various color fish puppets or clipart)
Literacy Tip
Sharing a book with your preschooler is a great conversation starter. Ask questions about the pictures and the story. Before you get to the end of a story, ask your preschooler what she thinks will happen next. Encourage her to share her ideas.
