Flannel Board/Sign Language: Five Little Dogs (sign for dog)

5 little dogs were playing in the sun.

This little dog saw a rabbit, and he began to run.

This little dog saw a butterfly, and he began to race.

This little dog saw a cat, and he began to chase.

This little dog tried to catch his tail, and he went round and round.

This little dog was so quiet, he never made a sound.

Each time "dog" was said we made the sign for "dog"

Five Little Cows

5 little cows ate grass all day.
Grazing in the fields of hay.
They ate and ate and ate and STILL
They ate and ate and ate until
One little cow had had enough that day…
And slowly, slowly walked away.
