Song: There’s a spider on the floor
(by Raffi; adapted by Tammy Henry)
There's a spider on the floor, on the floor
There's a spider on the floor, on the floor
Who could ask for any more than a spider on the floor?
There's a spider on the floor on the floor.

There's a spider on my knee...Oh, how can it be?
There's a spider on my leg...Oh, it's really very big
There's a spider on my tummy...Oh, it really isn't funny
There's a spider on my arm...It doesn't mean any harm
There's a spider on my face...Oh, what a big disgrace!
There's a spider on my head...I wish I was in bed!
There's a spider on the floor...

Nursery Rhyme/short poem: Plant a little seed
I plant a little seed in the cold, cold ground
Out comes the yellow sun, big and round
Down come the raindrops soft and slow
Up comes the flower grow, grow, grow!

Flannel Board: Rainbow colors

Six little markers all standing in a line.
They said, "Let's draw a picture and make it mighty fine!"
RED jumped for joy as he leaped across the sky.
ORANGE jumped up too, but not quite so high.
Next came YELLOW as bright as the sun.
GREEN was excited as he started to run.
BLUE followed boldly, then looked all around.
PURPLE came last, nearly touching the ground.
"Isn't this lovely?" the markers exclaimed.
"We've made a rainbow without any rain!!!!!!"

And when Robbie runs he goes hop,hop,hop (hop)
And when Robbie runs he goes hop,hop,hop (hop)

Flannel Board: 1 Little Quail

1 little quail with feathers of blue;
In flew a green one and then there were two.
2 little quails singing in the tree;
A red one came to join them and then there were three.
3 little quails, wishing there were more;
Along came the purple one and then there were four.
4 little quails, happy to be alive;
Found a little yellow one, and then there were five.
Five little quails as happy as can be.
Singing beautiful songs - just for you and me!

Nursery Rhyme/short poem: Queen and the Quail

Once, a queen saw a little quail
Come hop, hop, hop
And so said the queen,
“Dear little Quail, please stop, stop, stop”.
She went to her castle window to say how do you do?
The quail, he bowed, shook his tail, then off he flew.
