10 little snowballs
Snow fell last night and it fell so hard
When I looked out my window
It covered up my yard
I made 10 little snowballs and I put them in a line
One fell off and then there were 9
9 little snowballs I put them on the gate 1 fell off and then there were 8
8 little snowballs I hit 1 up toward heaven.  It came down splat! and then there were 7
7 little snowballs I hit 1 with a stick.  It broke into pieces and then there were 6
6 little snowballs all lined up side by side.  My dog stole 1 and then there were 5
5 little snowballs I took them to the store 1 fell off my sled so then there were 4
4 little snowballs underneath a tree I threw 1 at a monster and then there were 3
3 little snowballs I'll share them with you.  You have one and and I  have two
2 little snowballs left out in the sun.  1 melted away and then there was 1
1 little snowballs left all alone, I'll put it in my pocket and take it home.

Teaching Ideas
1. Have numbers either felt, magnet or wood and have the student hold up the number of snowballs left
2.  Make a snowball out of paper and give ten out.  Students shoot the snowball in a basket each time you count down.

Scarecrow Songs

Here are some Scarecrow Songs I sang with the kids this week. Enjoy!

Jingle Jangle Scarecrow

When all the cows were sleeping and the sun was behind a cloud.

Up jumped a scarecrow and shouted very LOUD!

"I'm a Jingle Jangle scarecrow with a floppy floppy hat.

I can shake my arms like this! And shake my feet like that!"

When all the hens were roosting and the moon's behind a cloud,

Up jumped the scarecrow and shouted very loud

"I'm a jingle jangle scarecrow with a flippy floppy hat,

I can shake my hands like this and shake my feet like that.

The kids love crouching down and then popping up on "Up jumped the scarecrow"

We move are arms and feet of course as directed

I also ask the children what time of day is the scarecrow dancing?


The Floppy Scarecrow

The floppy, floppy scarecrow
Guards his field all day
He waves his floppy, floppy ___________
And scares the crows away.


Pick a body part or article of clothing to put in the blank
