frog`s sticky trick five frisky frogs

FIVE LITTLE FROGGIES
Five little froggies sitting on a well,
One looked up and down he fell.
Froggies jump high, froggies jump low.
How many froggies left in the row?
(Using finger puppets, remove them one
by one as the rhyme indicates)
Five green speckled frogs
Sat on a speckled log
Eating the most delicious bugs.
Yum - Yum
(Rub tummy)
One jumped into the pool
(Remove one frog)
Where it was nice and cool.
Now there are four green speckled frogs...
Glub - Glub
(Pull throat skin)
Four green speckled frogs...etc.
(Continue removing frogs one at a time)
Three green speckled frogs...etc.
Two green speckled frogs...etc.
One green speckled frog.
Now there are no green speckled frogs..
Glub - Glub

Cinco ranitas
Con muchas manchitas
Sentadas arriba de un tronco...
Cro - Cro
Una rana cayó
Adentro de un charco
Ahora queda cuatro ranas...
Cro - Cro!
Cuatro ranitas...etc.
Tres ranitas...etc.
Dos ranitas...etc
Una ranita...etc.
Ahora no quedan mas ranas...

FROG’S STICKY TRICK
© 8/2000 Judy Woodworth
I am a bullfrog, an amphibian;
I like the water and I like the land.
I’m cold-blooded, my temperature can vary;
Hibernating in winter is quite necessary,
Which means I become completely still
Which helps me stay warm just until
Springtime comes and I start to sing,
As I call for a mate wanting offspring.
In a jelly like substance she lays our egg;
And when they hatch they have no legs,
Instead they have tails and gills like fish.
But soon begins a metamorphosis.......
Legs appear and lungs form
And soon the tadpoles do transform
Into froggies for all their life long.
Ribbit, ribbit, we sing our frog song!
Our hind legs are large and incredibly strong,
Helping us to leap high and jump long.
Our toes are webbed and perfectly slim,
Giving us the ability to dive and swim.
We have bulgy eyes and smooth moist skin,
Our big, wide mouths are in a permanent grin.
We love to snatch the yummy insects
With our very long tongue that ejects,
We nab our prey when they least expect,
And if they think they can escape for a sec,
Well, they’re mistaken because we are tricky,
Our tongues are quick, but better yet,
THEY’RE STICKY!

No little froggies left sitting on a well,
One by one, each froggie fell.
