Reptiles and Amphibians

A Big Turtle

A big turtle sat on the end of a log
Watching a tadpole turn into a frog.

Alligator Finger Play

Here is the alligator, sitting on a log.
Down in the pool, he sees a little frog.
In goes the alligator, round goes the log.
Splash goes the water, away swims the frog.

Back of a Crocodile

Oh, she sailed on a sunny summer day
On the back of a crocodile
You see, said she, he's as tame as could be
And I'll ride him down the Nile
The croc winked his eye as she waved goodbye
Wearing a happy smile
At the end of the day, the lady was inside
And the smile was on the crocodile.

Big Frogs, Little Frogs

Big frogs.
Little frogs.
Leaping frogs.
Sleeping frogs.
Swimming frogs
…. and tadpoles.
Listen to the frogs!
Croak!
Croak!
Peep!
Gr-r-ump!

Five Little Alligators

Five little alligators peeping at the door,
One crawled away, and then there were four;
Alligator, alligator happy and gay,
Alligator, alligator, crawl away.

 
Five Little Tadpoles

Five little tadpoles went for a swim.
The first little tadpole put his head in.
The second little tadpole put his head back
The third little tadpole dived for a snack.
The fourth little tadpole with his tiny brother,
Went to look for his father and mother.

Little Mister Froggy

Little Mister Froggy, sitting very still
Won't you come and play with me?
RRRIBBITT! Yes, I will!

Lizards in a Log

Five lizards live in a log
One left to live with a frog
One left to live with a dog
Two left to live with a hog
One little lizard living in the bog
I a little lonely living in a log.

Sammy

Sammy is a super snake.
He sleeps on the shore of a silver lake.
He squirms and squiggles to snatch a snack
And snoozes and snores till his hunger is back.

Snakes

For heaven’s sake, so many snakes!
Garter snakes, cobras,
Milk snakes, rat snakes,
Copperheads, pythons,
Thin snakes, fat snakes!
King snakes, bull snakes,
Water snakes, tree snakes,
Vipers and rattlesnakes,
And many-more-to-see snakes!
For heaven’s sake, so many snakes!!!

Ten Green Frogs

Ten green frogs were sitting on a well.
One leaned over and down he fell.
Reach up high, bend down low.
Now only nine frogs sitting in a row.

(continue on until last verse...)

One little green frog was sitting on a well.
He leaned over and down he fell.
Reach up high, bend down low.
And now no frogs are sitting in a row.

Three Little Monkeys

Three little monkeys swinging from a tree,
Teasing Mr. Alligator, "Can’t catch me!"
Along came Mr. Alligator slowly as can be
Then … SNAP!

Tiny Toads

Two tiny toads jumping around
Two turtles crawling on the ground
They all tiptoe without making a sound
And they turned their heads round and round.

Turtles

One little turtle feeling so blue
Along came another. Now there are two
Two little turtles on their way to tea
Along came another. Now there are three.
Three little turtles going to the store
Along came another. Now there are four.
Four little turtles, going for a drive.
Along came another. Now there are five.

Two Little Snicker Snakes

Two little snicker snakes peeking through the grass
One named Kevin. One named Cass.
Slip away Kevin. Slip away Cass.
Come back Kevin. Come back Cass.

Two Little Turtles

One little turtle lived in a shell,
And that was a home that he liked very well.
He poked out his head to look at the view.
Another turtle joined him and that made two.
They had small tails, their feet made tracks.
And both of the turtles carried homes on their backs.
