Little White Duck

I've always loved the Little White Duck song.  I especially like this version of the book, but I only have a small board book copy which is hard to use with a large group, and which I believe is missing some of the pages from the larger copy.  

Sometimes I'll use my classroom's old, worn out, too-small felt set of Little White Duck, along with Ivan Ulz's version of the song.  But that set is so old, worn out, and too-small that I had to DO something about it!!  So, I did this:

Here's a video of these cuties in action:

                              

And here are the lyrics:

There's a little white duck, sitting in the water

A little white duck, doing what he oughter

He took a bite of a lily pad

Flapped his wings and he said, "I'm glad

I'm a little white duck sitting in the water

Quack, quack, quack!"

There's a little green frog swimming in the water

A little green frog, doing what he oughter

He jumped right off of the lily pad

That the little duck bit and he said, "I'm glad

I'm a little green frog swimming in the water

Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit!"

There's a little black bug floating on the water

A little black bug doing what he oughter

He tickled the frog on the lily pad

That the little duck bit and he said, "I'm glad

I'm a little black bug floating on the water

Buzz, buzz, buzz!"

There's a little red snake slithering in the water

A little red snake doing what he oughter

He frightened the duck and the frog so bad

He ate the little bug and he said, "I'm glad

I'm a little red snake laying in the water

Hiss, hiss, hiss!"

Now there's nobody left sitting in the water

Nobody left doing what they oughter

There's nothing left but the lily pad

The duck and the frog ran away, I'm sad

'Cause there's nobody left sitting in the water,

Boo, Hoo, Hoo!

These will be making their debut next week with my summer campers!  Can't wait to see what they think :)
