Tune: One Little Finger
One monster finger
One monster finger
One monster finger tap tap tap
Point your finger up
Point your finger down

Put it on your toes, put it on your knee, put it on your belly, put it on your nose, put it on your head, now let’s wave goodbye!

Ten of them can’t scare me!

Five Little Monsters Went Out to Play
Rhyme by Miss Krissy
Tune: Five Little Ducks
One little monster went out to play
In the autumn leaves one day
He had such enormous fun
that he called another little monster to come!
Two…Three…Four…
Five little monsters went out to play
In the autumn leaves one day
They played and danced and jumped and run
Now it’s time for naps for everyone!
Sleeping Monsters

See the little monsters sleep till nearly noon
Shall we wake them with a merry tune?
They`re so still, are they ill?
Wake up little monsters!
Hop little monsters, Hop little monsters
Hop little monsters – Hop, hop, hop
Hop little monsters, Hop little monsters
Hop little monsters – Hop, hop, hop
Fa lala lalalala fa la la lalalalala
Fa lala lalalala fa la la lalalalala

Ending songs:
Elevator Song
https://klmpeace.wordpress.com/rhymes-for-baby-and-toddler-storytimes/#59
Tune: Do Your Ears Hang Low
Oh, the city is great and the city is grand
There are lots of tall buildings
On a little piece of land
We live way up on the fifty-seventh floor
And this is what we do
When we go out the door!
Take the elevator up, take the elevator down (3 x)
Then we turn around!
Peek a Boo
