Ten Lily Pads

Piko hops across the pond to the big pink water lily, one lily pad and one number at a time, counting from 1 to 10. For ages 2–5; count and hop along together.

Actions: Do a little hop (or a knee bounce) for every number, and say one number per hop. Chorus: hold up your fingers one at a time from 1 to 10. Ribbit: puff out your cheeks. SPLOOSH: spread your arms wide. Bridge: slow down and touch something for every number.

Chorus

Lily pads, lily pads, count with me!
One, two, three, four, five,
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten!
One hop, one number, hop again!
Hop-a-one, hop-a-two!
Hop-a-one, hop-a-two!
Hop, hop, hop... SPLOOSH!
