SING/RHYME:

Animal Action part 1 and part 2 are on the Greg and Steve CD called Kids in Motion. These are great for animal movement activities. 

  Sung to: "Six Little Ducks"
Six little dogs that I once knew,
Fat ones, skinny ones, fair ones too.
But the one little dog with the brown curly fur,
He led the others with a grr, grr, grr.
Grr, grr, grr
Grr, grr, grr
He led the others with a grr, grr, GRR!

Sung to: "Bingo"
I know a cat with perky ears,
And Kitty is her name-o.
K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y,
And Kitty is her name-o.
She makes a sound and it's "meow,"
And Kitty is her name-o.
K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y,
And Kitty is her name-o.

Where, oh where has my little dog gone?
Oh, where oh where can he be?
Oh  his tail  is short and his ears  are long,
Oh, where oh where can he be?

My little dog always waggles his tail
Whenever he wants his food.
And if the tail was  stronger than him,
Well, the tail would waggle the dog.

(Make a fist of left hand for kitty, and pet the kitty.)
Soft kitty, warm kitty
Little ball of fur
Lazy kitty, pretty kitty
purr, purr, purr

Love, love, love your pets
Love them every day,
Give them food, and water too,
And let them run and play!
