Animal Fair

I went to the animal fair,

The birds and the beasts were there,

The big baboon by the light of the moon,

Was combing his auburn hair.

The monkey smelled a skunk,

And fell on the elephant's trunk,

The elephant sneezed,

And fell on his knees,

And he's lucky he missed the monk.

Ostrich

Here is the ostrich straight and tall,
(raise one arm for ostrich)

Nodding his head above us all,
(use your raised wrist to 'nod' like an ostrich head)

Here is the hedgehog prickly and small,
(hold hands together with fingers together)

Rolling himself into a ball,
(cup both hands into a ball)

Here is the spider scuttling around
(wriggle fingers like a spider)

Treading so lightly on the ground,
(let fingers crawl on arm or leg)

Here are the birds that fly so high,
(interlock both thumbs while rest of fingers spread out like a bird)

Spreading their wings across the sky,

Here are the children fast asleep,
(pretend to be asleep)

And in the night the owls do peep,
(ring eyes with fingers for owl eyes)

Going to the Zoo

To the tune of: Skip to my Lou

Come along children, we're going to the zoo,
Come along children, we're going to the zoo,
Come along children, we're going to the zoo,
Going to the zoo today.

See the animals living in the zoo,
See the animals living in the zoo,
See the animals living in the zoo,
Living in the zoo today.

I see a monkey sitting in a tree,
I see a monkey sitting in a tree,
I see a monkey sitting in a tree
I see a monkey and it sees me.

I see an elephant, big and gray,
I see an elephant, big and gray,
I see an elephant, big and gray.
Big gray elephant is eating hay.

I see a lion in a cage,
I see a lion in a cage,
I see a lion in a cage.
I see a lion that roars with rage.

I see a camel with a great big hump,
I see a camel with a great big hump,
I see a camel with a great big hump.
When he walks he goes "bump, bump."

I see a zebra, black and white,
I see a zebra, black and white,
I see a zebra, black and white.
Seeing the zebra is a sight.

I see a giraffe, big and tall,
I see a giraffe, big and tall,
I see a giraffe, big and tall.
He's not hard to see at all.

We saw the animals living in the zoo,
We saw the animals living in the zoo,
We saw the animals living in the zoo.
Living in the zoo today.

100 Animals

I went to the zoo
And what did I see?
100 animals
Looking at me.
There were,
10 tall giraffes, eating from the trees.
10 silly monkeys, scratching on their knees.
10 sleeping snakes, lying in the sun.
10 munching elephants, eating peanuts one by one.
10 leaping tigers, performing in the shows,
10 pink flamingos, standing on their toes.
10 grouchy bears, trying to get some sleep.
10 happy hippos, in the water deep.
10 roaring lions, walking two by two.
10 galloping zebras, all living in the zoo

What about the Kangaroo?

Crazy crabs walk sideways,
(move sideways)
What a giddy way to go !

Snails slip slide forwards
(move forward slowly)
And that is very slow !

Ducks waddle, waddle,
(waddle)
And that is funny too,
And what about the hopping
Of the big red kangaroo ?
(hop like a kangaroo)
