Magnetic Board Songs

I decided to throw in Five Little Ducks and Five Little Speckled Frogs into our group of songs as well because these were classics while I was growing up. I have a magnetic board that I bring in and the kids help me with the sound effects and counting as well. Five Little Speckled Frogs happens to be requested often (and tears are shed when I don't bring it in!); a favorite!

Here are the lyrics just in case you don't know them:

Five Little Ducks

Five little ducks went out to play
Over the hill and far away
When the Mama Duck said, "quack, quack, quack"
Four little ducks came waddling back.

Verse 2: Four little ducks went out to play...
Verse 3: Three little ducks went out to play...
Verse 4: Two little ducks went out to play...

Verse 5: One little duck went out to play
Over the hill and far away
When the Mama Duck said, "quack, quack, quack"
No little ducks came waddling back.
But when the Daddy Duck said, "QUACK, QUACK, QUACK!"
Five little ducks came waddling back.

Five Little Speckled Frogs

Five little speckled frogs sitting on a speckled log
Eating the most delicious bugs - yum, yum!
One jumped into the pool ("splash") where it was nice and cool
Then there were four speckled frogs. Ribbit, ribbit!

Verse 2: Four little speckled frogs sitting on a speckled log...
Verse 3: Three little speckled frogs sitting on a speckled log...
Verse 4: Two little speckled frogs sitting on a speckled log...

Verse 5: One little speckled frog sitting on a speckled log
Eating the most delicious bugs - yum, yum!
He jumped into the pool ("splash") where it was nice and cool
Then there were no more speckled frogs. Ribbit, ribbit!
