Bunny Action Poem

Once there was a bunny

 (make fist with bunny with ears)

And a green, green cabbage head.
(make fist with other hand)

"I think I'll have some breakfast," the little bunny said. 
 
(Move bunny toward cabbage)

 
So he nibbled and he nibbled
 (wiggle bunny ears)

Then he turned around to say, 

(turn bunny forward) 

 " I am so full of cabbage now, I'll be hopping on my way!" 

 
(Make hopping movements with bunny)

Five Little Shamrocks Rhyme

FIVE LITTLE SHAMROCKS

One green shamrock, in the morning dew,

Another one sprouted, and then there were two.

Two green shamrocks, growing beneath a tree;

Another one sprouted and then there were three.

Three green shamrocks, by the cottage door;

Another one sprouted,

And then there were four.

Four green shamrocks, near a beehive

Another one sprouted,

And then there were five.

Five little shamrocks, bright and emerald green,

Think of all the luck these shamrocks will bring.
