Rhyme
One Elephant Went out to Play
One elephant went out to play
Upon a spider’s web one day. (big jump)
He had such enormous fun, (arms up high)
He called for another elephant to come… “Oh, ELEPHANT!”
(swing arm in front of you like trumpeting trunk)
Two elephants…
Three elephants…
Four elephants…
Five elephants went out to play
Upon a spider’s web one day. (jump)
they had such enormous fun (arms up high)
that they played and played until day was done. (lots of jumping)
Bean Bags
Silly Hat Song”(Tune: This Old Man)
On my head, I wear my hat.
It is such a silly hat
That my head will wiggle waggle to and fro
Where else can my silly hat go?
[Repeat using foot, elbow and knee.]

Puppet On Your Heart
From JBrary, you can watch the full video of the song. I changed the lyrics to beanbags and it went very well.
Put your puppet on your heart, On your heart.
Put your puppet on your heart, On your heart.
Put your puppet on your heart, What a lovely way to start!
Put your puppet on your heart, On your heart.
Put your puppet on your knee…You’ll both be filled with glee…
Put your puppet on your toes… Now move it to your nose…
Put your puppet on your head… Put your puppet straight to bed…
Give your puppet a big hug…make him snug as a bug in a rug
Felt Board Inspired by JenInTheLibrary's Bathtime Storytime.
1 elephant in the bathtub going for a swim.
Knock, knock (clap hands for each knock)
Splash, splash (pat lap for each splash)
Come on in! (Wave hand invitingly)
Repeat to 5
5 elephants in the bathtub going for a swim.
Knock, knock (clap hands for each knock)
Splash, splash (pat lap for each splash)
And they all fell in! (Knock all the elephants and tub off the felt board!)
Closing
We Clap Our Hands Like This - Tune of Farmer In the Dell
Borrowed from Opening/Closing Songs on Storytime Katie who borrowed it from Rhymes for Toddlers on Sunflower Storytime.
We clap our hands like this
We clap our hands like this
We clap our hands with all of our friends
We clap our hands like this.
We blow a kiss like this
We blow a kiss like this
We blow a kiss with all of our friends
We blow a kiss like this.
We wave goodbye like this.
We wave goodbye like this.
We wave goodbye with all our friends.
We wave goodbye like this.
Craft – We keep getting so busy that I forget to take pictures of the crafts before we start. I punched out colored paper with our Ellison SureCut Die - Paper Bag Puppet, Elephant - XL. I am trying to use up scrap so I used color copy paper and color construction paper. With white and brown paper bags we glued on the precut pieces and used crayons to add embellishments.
