One Elephant
One Elephant went out to play,
Upon a spider’s web one day.
He had such enormous fun,
He asked another elephant to come.
Two Elephants went out to play…
Three Elephants went out to play…
Four Elephants went out to play…
Five Elephants went out to play…
Music for this rhyme may be found on:

and draw a spider’s web out doors using sidewalk chalk.

The Elephant – Active Rhyme
An elephant goes like this and that.
(Clasp hands together with arms extended in front of you and sway back and forth.)
He’s oh, so big.
(Stretch arms up high)
And he’s oh, so fat.
(Put arms out to the side.)
He has no fingers,
And he has no toes,
(Put two fists in front of you.)
But goodness gracious,
What A Nose!
(Extend clasped hands in front of face like an elephant’s trunk.)
Saggy Baggy – The Poem
The elephant has a trunk for a nose.
And up and down is the way it goes.
He wears such a saggy, baggy hide,
Do you think two Elephants could fit inside?
THE ELEPHANT
Sung to ”The Mulberry Bush”
The elephant goes like this and that, this and that, this and that.
(Walk heavily and stomp feet)
The elephant goes like this and that,
Cause he’s so big and he’s so fat. (Puff our cheeks and stretch out arms)
He has no fingers and has no toes, has no fingers and has no toes (Wiggle fingers; wiggle toes)
He has no fingers and has no toes,
But oh my goodness, What a Nose! (Pull hands out from face to suggest long trunk)
Three big elephants
Oh, what a sight.
Swinging their trunks
From left to right.
Two are followers
And one tries to sing.
They all walk around
In the circus ring!
Circus Song
Sung to “Mary Had a Little Lamb”
Let’s all go to the Circus Tent, Circus Tent, Circus Tent
Let’s all to the circus tent and see what we can see.
We will watch the elephants march, elephants march, elephants march.
We will watch the elephants march around the circus ring.
We will watch the Dancing Bears…
We will watch the Jumping dogs…
We will watch the funny clowns….
We will watch the high Trapeze …
We will eat cotton candy…
