Five Little Ducks

My current library has a very convenient puppet that I use for this song - a mama duck with five little baby ducks velcroed to her. However, if no puppet is available, hand motions work just as well.

Lyrics and Hand Motions
Five little ducks went out to play (hold up five fingers) Over the hills and far away (make a wave motion with your hand) Mama duck said, Quack quack quack quack! (Open and shut your hand like a duck quacking) But only four little ducks came back (hold up four fingers)

Four little ducks went out to play Over the hills and far away Mama duck said, Quack quack quack quack! But only three little ducks came back

Three little ducks went out to play Over the hills and far away Mama duck said, Quack quack quack quack! But only two little ducks came back

Two little ducks went out to play Over the hills and far away Mama duck said, Quack quack quack quack! <span style="line-height:19px;color:rgb(59,59,59);font-family:'OpenSans',sans-serif;">But only one little duck came back
