Five Little Snakes
(Traditional. Adapted by Debbie Brightwell Brown. Cut five snakes out of felt, fun foam,
or paper using the pattern provided for the snake bracelet craft in this program. Place the
snakes on the flannel board one at a time as you recite the rhyme.)
One little snake alone and blue,
Called for a friend. Hiss!
And then there were two.
Two little snakes, fast as can be,
They called for a friend. Hiss! Hiss!
Then there were three.
Three little snakes, slithering by the door,
They called for a friend. Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
