“Kittens” from Hand Rhymes by Marc Brown

hold up fingers each time a number is used . . .

(hold up fingers to indicate 5) Five little kittens
(hands together at side of head, eyes closed) Sleeping on a chair
(rolling motion with hands) One rolled off,
(hold up fingers to indicate 4) Leaving four there.
Four little kittens,
(Climbing motion up, hand over hand) One climbed a tree
(OK signs around eyes to make glasses) To look in a bird’s nest.
Then there were three.
Three little kittens
Wondered what to do.
(Hands beside face, “ahh” gesture) One saw a mouse.
Then there were two.
Two little kittens
Playing near a wall.

One little kitten
(make a circle with with two hands) Chased a red ball.
One little kitten

With fur soft as silk,
Left all alone
(like lips as if to say “delicious”) To drink a dish of milk.
