Rhymes & Fingerplays

Five Little Tigers
Five little tigers letting out a roar,
One went away, and then there were four.

Four little tigers climbing in a tree,
One went away, and then there were three.

Three little tigers eating tiger stew,
One went away, and then there were two.

Two little tigers lying in the sun,
One ran away, and then there was one.

One little tiger, afraid to be a hero,
He went away, and then there was zero.

Tiger
tune: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

Tiger, tiger in the night,
with his eyes so burning bright.
Look and see his tail so long,
Swish, swish, swish, swish with a song.
Look and see his eyes so bright,
Blink, blink, blinking in the light.
See his stripes upon his back,
Just like so, orange and black.
Tiger, tiger in the night,
with his eyes so burning bright.

The Tiger
tune: Frere Jacques

Orange and black,
Great big cat,
Four big paws,
Long sharp claws,Through the jungle running,
Do you see her coming?
What a sight.
Will she bite?

Songs

Tigers are Sleeping by Kathy Reid-Naiman

We sleeping, stretch, roll, fall down, jump, and run our way through the song.
