Hickory
Dickory Dock
Crawly Creepy Little Mouse
Hickory
dickory dock (run fingers up
legs)
Crawly creepy little mouse,
The mouse ran
up the clock (run
fingers up body)
From the barn into the house.
The clock
struck one (clap hands once over
head)
In the pantry under the shelf!
The mouse ran
down (run fingers down body)
Found some cheese and helped himself.
Hickory
dickory dock (run fingers down legs)
Nibble nibble nibble nibble!
…the clock
struck two (clap twice) - the mouse said boo!
…the clock
struck three (clap3 times) - the mouse said whee!
Baby Mice
(Hide your hand behind your back)
…the clock
struck four (clap4 times) - there is no
more
Where are the baby mice?
Squeak, squeak, squeak
A
House for a Mouse
I cannot see them
peek, peek, peek
A house for a mouse is a hole in the wall
Here they come out of their hole
(Form hole with thumbs and
forefinger)
(Bring your fist forward)
She's quiet
and timid and meek.
One, two, three, four, five and that is all!
She hides in
her hole and she rarely comes out.
(Open your fingers one at a time)
(Cover thumb with remaining 4
fingers)
But the smell of fresh
cheese makes her peek!
(Sniff air and poke thumb
between fingers)
Five Little Mice
(hold up 5 fingers)
Five little mice
on the pantry floor
This
little mouse peeked behind the door
Little Mice
(count on fingers)
This
little mouse nibbled at the cake
This little mousie
peeked in the door,
This little mouse not a sound
did make
This little mousie jumped to the floor
This little mouse took a bit
of cheese
This little mousie came out to play,
This little mouse heard the
kitten sneeze
This little mousie ran away!
Achoo sneezed the kitten
(pretend to sneeze)
This little mousie cried, “Dear me!
And SQUEAK! they cried
(throw hands in the air)
Dinner is over, and it’s time for tea.”
As they found a hole and ran inside (hide hands)
Round and Round the Garden
Tiny Mouse
Round and
round the garden
There is such a tiny mouse
Goes the
teddy bear (circle baby's
tummy)
Living quietly inside my house
One step,
two steps (walk fingers up
chest)
Out at night he starts to creep (creep
fingers)
Tickle
under there!
(tickle baby under chin)
When everyone is fast asleep
(pretend to sleep)
Round and
round the garden
But always by the light of day (arms
circle over head)
Goes the
little mouse (circle baby's tummy)
The tiny mouse creeps away
(creep fingers)
Up, up, up
he creeps (walk fingers up arm)
Up into
his house
(tickle baby under arm)
Cat and
mice
(count on fingers)
Peek to the Left Peek to the Right
Five little
mice came out to play
Here’s a little mousie peeking through a hole
Gathering
crumbs up on their way (pick up crumbs)
(poke finger through fist of other hand)
Out came a
pussy cat sleek and black (tip toe)
Peek to the left (wiggle finger to the left)
Five little
mice went scampering back (run fingers)
Peek to the right (wiggle finger to the right)
Four little
mice came out…..
Pull your head back in (pull finger into fist)
No little
mice came out… (shake head “no”)
There’s a cat in sight!
Out came the
pussy cat sleek and black (tip toe)
He saw no
mice so he took a nap (pretend to sleep)
A Little Mouse
A little mouse ran up the clock
(hold up 1 finger)
Here Comes a Little Mouse
He thought that it was fun
Here comes a little mouse squeak, squeak, squeak
But when he reached the very top
He’s tiny and
soft and has pink little feet (tickle toes)
The clock struck one (clap
once)
He runs up
your leg, (tickle leg)
Another mouse ran up the clock (hold up 2
fingers)
Then under
your arm, (tickle under arm)
In tiny shoes of blue
Ticklety,
ticklety (tickle all over)
And when she reached the very top
But he means
you no harm
The clock struck two (clap twice)
Another mouse ran up the clock (hold up 3 fingers)
Creepy Crawly
(creep fingers up from toes)
To see what he could see
Creepy
crawly little mouse
And when he reached the very top
From the barn
The clock struck three (clap 3 times)
Up to the
house
Another mouse ran up the clock (hold up 4 fingers)
Watch out
little mouse!
And found a little door
Don’t fall
in that hole! (tickle under arm)
And when se reached the very top
The clock struck four (clap 4 times)
