Eight Little Reindeer

I went down the black hole of internet searches looking for the author of this rhyme and can’t find any attribution. However, I have also seen it titled “Call Rudolph”. Parents get a good chuckle at the last line. It has been quite a few years since I have made this flannel board and I think I used clip art for the pattern to make the reindeer.

Eight little reindeer pulling Santa’s sled
One fell down and bumped his head.
The elves called Santa and Santa said,
“Can seven little reindeer pull my sled?”

Seven little reindeer . . .
Six little reindeer . . .
Five little reindeer . . .
Four little reindeer . . .
Three little reindeer . . .
Two little reindeer . . .

One little reindeer pulling Santa’s sled
He fell down and bumped his head.
The elves called Santa and Santa said,
“Call Rudolph!”
