Have you seen the little ducks

(from "Dingle, Dangle Scarecrow, Early Learning Centre, Swindon SN3 4TJ)  

Have you seen the little ducks swimming in the water? Mother, father, baby ducks, grand­mamma and daughter.

Have you seen them dip their bills, swimming in the water? 

Mother, father, baby ducks, grand­mamma and daughter.  

Have you seen them flap their wings, swimming in the water?

Mother, father, baby ducks, grand-mamma and daughter.

Rhyme Grandparents:

Here are grandmother's glasses, (circle fingers around eyes)

This is grandmother's hat, (hands on head)  

This is the way she folds her hands (clasp hands together)

And puts them in her lap. (hands in lap)  

 

(in a deeper voice)  

Here are grandfather's glasses, (circle fingers around eyes)  

This is grandfather's hat,(hands on head)  

This is the way he folds his arms (fold arms)

And has a little nap.(head on one side, close eyes)
