Five little speckled frogs, (standing and holding up five fingers) Sat on a speckled log, (crouching like a frog)
Eating some most delicious bugs. (eating action)
Yum, yum! (rub tummy twice, once for each ‘yum’)
One jumped into the pool, (jump like a frog)
Where it was nice and cool, (rub arms as though cold)
Then there were four green speckled frogs. (standing again and hold up four fingers)
Glub, glub! (bounce twice, once for each ‘glub’)
Repeat for four, three, two and one speckled frogs. Pause after each ‘then there were...’ to allow the children to tell you the number before continuing. Make sure to encourage the children to join in with the singing and the actions. Many of the children will have heard this song before so may join in naturally.
