Ice Cream Rhyme

First we need a cone,
Nice and crunchy.

Then we need some ice cream,
Sweet and yummy.
Scoop ’em on,
Stack ’em on,
Up to the sky.
We love ice cream, my oh my!

First comes orange sherbert,
Cold and sweet.

Then comes lemon,
A delicious treat.

Here comes blue cotton candy,

Raspberry too.

A super-duper ice cream cone
Just for you!

One scoop, two scoops,
three scoops, four.
We love ice cream,
Who wants more?

Okay here’s some blackberry!

I adapted this from the version at Literary Hoots to fit the theme of The Sleeping Beauty by Jennifer Adams

I don’t have a rhyme or anything to go with these guys. I’ll be using them to practice counting and colors talk about how colors have different shades.

Five pretty mermaids jumping in the sea

One fell down and bumped the reef

A fish called the doctor and the doctor said

 no more mermaids jumping in the sea.

Four . . . .

Three . . . .

Two . . . .

One pretty mermaid jumping in the sea

She fell down and bumped the reef.

A fish called the doctor and doctor said

Put those mermaids right to bed.

I found a free pattern that I based these on here.

One little, two little, three little birds

Four little, five little, six little birds

Seven little, eight little, nine little birds,

Ten little birds singing.

Five rubber ducks came out to play,

Battling the waves in the tub today.

Along came the splash that sent one to shore,

And then he couldn’t play anymore.

(Count down through all the ducks)

Five Umbrellas stood by the back door

The red one went outside, and then there were four.

Four umbrellas pretty as can be,

The pink one went outside, and then there were three.

Three umbrellas with nothing to do

The green one went outside, then there two.

Two umbrellas stood watching for the sun

The blue one went outside, and then there was one.

Just one umbrella alone in the hall

The purple one went outside, and that was all.
