instead of 5 currant buns we sing 5 red (or green depending on child's choice) apples in a grocer's shop, round and juicy (describe big circle with two hands, top to bottom) with a sticker on the top (pat head) along came a shopper with a penny one day, bought a juicy apple and took it away.
5 little sparrows sitting in a tree (tune 10 green bottles) and if one little sparrow went home for his tea (flap hands) there'd be
5 little speckled frogs
5 little monkeys jumping on the bed
5 little monkeys swinging in the tree
5 fat sausages
5 little ducks went swimming
12345 bees come buzzing
12345 once I caught a fish
One dainty daffodil
there's loads but it's early on sunday morning!!!!
