HISSSSSSSS!!!! Did you hear that? Looks like some snakes decided to join us during Explorastory this week! We recycled an oldie but a goodie: a snakes story time that we have done in the past.
Here is a link to the entire story time:
Snakes
Additional Rhymes & Fingerplays:
Five Little Snakes (makes a great flannel story!)
Five little snakes
Hid under Mom’s chair
My brother grabbed the red one
Leaving four there
Four little snakes
Swinging in a tree
The blue one slipped and fell
Leaving only three
Three little snakes
Wondered what to do
The yellow one took a nap
Leaving only two
Two little snakes
Basking in the sun
The brown one slithered off
Leaving only one
One little green snake
Lonely as could be
Went looking for some fun
And came and played with me!
Boa Constrictor
A boa constrictor (move right hand)
May look like his sister (move left hand)
But don’t make a fatal mistake (shake both hands “no”)
A boa constrictor (move right hand)
Can look like its sister (move left hand)
And still be a dangerous snake
S-N-A-K-E
I had a snake
He was so fast
As fast as snakes can be
S-N-A-K-E, S-N-A-K-E
S-N-A-K-E, he is my favorite snake!
I had a snake
He was so green
As green as snakes can be
S-N-A-K-E, S-NA-K-E
S-N-A-K-E, he is my favorite snake!
I had a snake
He waved goodbye
He waved goodbye to me
S-N-A-K-E, S-N-A-K-E
S-N-A-K-E, he is my favorite snake!
All The Snakes
All the snakes are slithering,
Slithering, slithering
All the snakes are slithering
Across the grass
All the snakes make a hiss,
Make a hiss, make a hiss
All the snakes make a hiss
And smile at the sun
Snakes smell with their tongues,
With their tongues, with their tongues
Snakes smell with their tongues
And they can smell you!
I’m Being Swallowed by a Boa Constrictor
I’m being swallowed by a boa constrictor
I’m being swallowed by a boa constrictor
I’m being swallowed by a boa constrictor
And I don’t like it that much
Oh no no no, it at my toe toe toe
Oh gee gee gee, it ate my knee knee knee
Oh my my my, it ate my thigh thigh thigh
Oh fiddle fiddle fiddle, it ate my middle middle middle
Oh heck heck heck, it ate my neck neck neck
Oh dread dread dread, it ate my head head head
I’m being swallowed by a boa constrictor
And I don’t like it that much!
SSSSSeeeeeee you next week!
