Croak, Said the Frog
Croak said the frog, (Make croaking sound)
With his golden eyes. (Fists up to eyes)
Sitting on a lily pad,
Catching flies.
(Grab air with hand)
I have a sticky tongue,
(With index finger make darting motion)
It’s as FAST as can be.
I catch the mosquitoes, 1-2-3.
Tiny Turtle
I saw a little turtle
On his back was a box
He swam in the water,
Climbed on the rocks
He snapped at a minnow.
He snapped at a flea.
He snapped at minnow,
And he snapped at ME!
He caught the minnow.
He caught the flea.
He caught the mosquito,
But he didn’t catch ME!
