Green bottles hanging on a wall
A traditional nursery rhyme that can
also have the bottles standing or sitting on a wall!
10 green bottles stood
upon a wall ..
and if 1 green bottle is hit by a ball, there'll be
9 green bottles sitting on a wall...
9 green bottles sitting on a wall, 9 green bottles sitting
on a wall
and if 1 green bottle is hit by a ball, there''ll be
8 green bottles sitting on the wall ...
continure counting down until no more bottles are left
sitting on a wall.
Adapting
the rhyme to fit home or preschool setting's needs means you can enjoy
green, rainbow or any other coloured bottle bowling activity inside
with soft foam balls or outside with harder plastic balls (ball-pool balls are good!)
Craft bottle labels to wrap around clear containers and arrange
as wished.
Sing song: a rainbow of bottles standing on a wall,
a rainbow of bottles standing on a wall
and if one rainbow bottle gets hit by a ball there'll
be 9 rainbow bottles standing on a wall ...
