I'm A Little Teapot

While I like doing I'm A Little Teapot with my ones and twos, I really like doing variation verses with my pre-K's and fives - the familiarity of the tune, combined with the fresh lyrics and gestures, has continually proved to be a winning combination. Here are some of the additional verses I've found and come up with.

I'm A Little Fishy
I'm a little fishy (point to self), watch me swim (swimming motions)

Here is my tail (shake booty), here are my fins (shake hands in a finny motion)

When I want to go play with my friends

I wiggle my tail (shake booty) and dive right in! (hands together in a diving motion

I'm A Little Monster
I'm a little monster, hear me roar! (cup hands around mouth, roar in a growly fashion)

Here are my claws (hold hands up in a claw motion), and here are my horns (point fingers next to head like horns)

All I want to do is go and play

But you shout EEK! (act surprised) and run away! (running motion with arms)
