THIS IS MY TURTLE

This is my turtle (make a fist with thumb tucked inside)

She lives in a shell

She likes her home very well

She pokes her head out (stick out your thumb)

When she wants to eat

And pulls it back in (tuck thumb in)

When she wants to sleep

FIVE LITTLE TURTLES WERE DOWN AT THE POND

(fill in an appropriate word at the blank)

Five little turtles were down at the pond, down at the pond at play

Along came a hungry ____, and chased one turtle away

Four little turtles were down at the pond, down at the pond at play

Along came a wiggly ____, and chased one turtle away

Three little turtles were down at the pond, down at the pond at play

Along came a giant _____, and chased one turtle away

Two little turtles were down at the pond, down at the pond at play

Along came a purple ____, and chased one turtle away

One little turtle was down at the pond, down at the pond at play

Along came a flying ____, and chased the turtle away

Then no little turtles were down at the pond, down at the pond at play

Where do you think the little turtles went when they all went away?
