Little Kites

One little kite in the sky so blue,
Along came another, then there were two.
Two little kites flying high above me;
Along came another, then there were three.
Three little kites, just watch them soar,
Along came another, then there were four.
Four little kites, so high and alive
Along came another, then there were five.
Five little kites dancing across the sky,
What a sight to see, way up so high!

Along came a strong wind, and now I have four.
Four bright kites flying over the sea.
Along came a big wave, and now I have three
Three bright kites, I'll give one to you.
Three bright kites, now I have two.
Two bright kites flew too near to the sun.
Poor little kites! Now I have one.
One bright kite - that's enough for me,
I'll keep it away from the kite - eating tree!

The
Playful Wind
Original
Author Unknown; From PreschoolEducation.com
The wind
came out to play one day.
He swept the clouds out of his way.
(Make sweeping motion with hands.)
He blew the leaves and away they flew.
(Mke fluttering motions with fingers.)
The trees bent low and their branches did too!
(Lift arms high and lower them.)
The wind blew the great big ships at sea.
(Repeat sweeping motion.)
The wind blew the kite away from me

Noisy
Wind
Original Author Unknown; From
PreschoolEducation.com
Sung to: "The Farmer in the dell"
I like the noisy wind,
I like the noisy wind.
It roars and mutters
(voice loud, then softer)
And Shakes the shutters.
(shake hands Tambourine-Style.)
I like the noisy wind
I Like the Noisy wind,
I like the noisy wind.
It flaps the flag
(flap your arms back and forth)
And rustles my bag.
(rub hands together briskly)
I like the noisy wind.

(Bend arms over and down)
I see the wind when the flags all blow.

If you

Cup your ears.

Kite

Sung to: "The Farmer in the Dell"
My kite is up so high,
My kite is up so high,
Oh my - - just watch it fly
My kite is up so high.
My kite is falling down,
My kite is falling down,
Oh no - - it's down so low
My kite is falling down.
The wind has caught my kite,
The wind has caught my kite,
What fun - - I'm on the run
The wind has caught my kite.
My kite is up so high,
My kite is up so high,
Oh my - - just watch it fly
My kite is up so high.
