May Lapsit Rhymes

Here is a Beehive
Here is the beehive, where are the bees?
(clench fist)
Hidden away were nobody sees
Watch and you will see them come out of their hive,
(bring out fingers quickly one by one)
One, two, three, four, five,
Buzz, Buzz, Buzz, Buzz, Buzz
(put fingers together & buzz them around in the air like a bee flying)
Hey Diddle, Diddle
A Flannel board Presentation
Hey, Diddle, Diddle,
The cat and the fiddle.
The cow jumped over the moon.
The little dog laughed to see such sport and the dish ran away with the spoon.

This Little Piggy
This little piggy went to market.
This little piggy stayed home.
This little piggy had roast beef.
This little piggy had none.
And this little piggy cried
Wee, Wee, Wee,
All the way home.

Starting with the thumb, touch one finger at a time holding onto the finger while saying each line until reaching the pinky finger. Wiggle it while saying the last two lines.
