Five Apples

(count to five on fingers)

The first apple in the basket

was bright and shy red.

The second apple in the basket

said, "What a cozy bed!"

The third apple in the basket

said, "Please move over there."

The fourth apple in the basket

said, "Now we are two pair."

The fifth apple in the basket

said, "Oh dear, me-oh-my!"

"This basket looks like pastry."

"I think we're apple pie!"

Pumpkin Pie

(Count off on fingers, then hold out both hands face up)

Five little pumpkins sitting on the ground

The first one said, "I'm big, orange and round!"

The second one said, "I'm fresh off the vine!"

The third one said, "I taste divine!"

The fourth one said, "I'm ready to be tasted!"

The fifth one said, "Bake my seeds so they're not wasted!"

Someone from the kitchen picked them up and we know why....

The five little pumpkins all became Pumpkin Pie.

Alligator Pie

Alligator, alligator
(open and close hands like an alligator's mouth)

Alligator pie.

If I don't get some,

I think I'm gonna cry.
(pretend to cry)

You can take away the grass,
(wiggle fingers like grass blowing)

Take away the sky,
(hands over head)

But don't take away
(do alligator's mouth again)

My Alligator pie.

Little Jack Horner

Little Jack Horner

Sat in a corner,

Eating his Christmas pie;

He put in his thumb,

And pulled out a plum,

And said, "What a good boy am I!"

Sing a Song of Six Pence

Sing a song of sixpence,
(make circle with hands)

A pocket full of rye;

Four and twenty blackbirds

All baked in a pie.

When the pie was opened,
(open hands)

The birds began to sing;
(flutter fingers)

Wasn't that a dainty dish

To set before the King?

The King was in his counting-house,
(cup hand)

Counting out his money;
(pretend to pick up money)

The Queen was in the parlor

Eating bread and honey.
(make eating motions)

The maid was in the garden
Hanging out the clothes;
(extend arms)

When down came a blackbird,
(flutter down one hand)

And snipped off her nose!
(nip nose)
