Action Rhyme
Can you hop like a rab­bit?
Can you jump like a frog? Can you wad­dle like a duck?
Can you wag your tail like a dog?
Can you fly like a bird?
Can you swim like a fish?
Can you sit back down and be still like this?

I had a little poodle (hold up fist)
His coat was silver gray,
One day I thought I'd bathe him,
To wash the dirt away,
I washed my little poodle,
(scrub fist with other hand),
then dried him with a towel
(pat fist like drying with a towel)
My poodle seemed to like his bath,
He didn't even growl.    

CRAFT:  we made a version of this using Goldfish crackers, Rice Crispies, and a die-cut fishbowl that we have at work.
