Book: 10 Little Rubber Ducks By Eric Carle

Rhyme: Five Little Ducks
Five little ducks went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Mother duck said, "Quack quack, quack."
But only four little ducks came back.
(Continue with 4,3,2,1,0)
Then mother duck said, "Quack, quack, quack, quack."
And five little ducks came running back.

Book: Hey, Duck! By Carin Bramsen

Rhyme: Little Duck
I saw a little duck go hop, hop, hop (hop three times)
I told the little duck to stop, stop, stop (hold up hand, stop)
I went to the window to saw, "How do you do?" (hold out hand for handshake)
He wagged his little tail and away he flew! (shake tail and fly away)

Book: The Duckling Gets a Cookie!? By Mo Willems

Song: If You're a Duck and you Know It (Sung to "If You're Happy and You Know It")
If you're a duck and you know it quack like this, "quack, quack"
If you're a duck and you know it quack like this, "quack, quack"
If you're a duck and you know it and you really want to show it,
If you're a duck and you know it quack like this, "quack, quack"
(continue with waddle, flap your wings, swim etc...)

Book: Pumpkin Trouble by Jan Thomas

Song: Ducks Like Rain from Raffi's Rise and Shine CD ( I used a bubble machine and the kids loved pretending to be ducks in the "rain")
