Lyrics
Five little ducks went out one day,
Over the hill and far away.
Mother Duck said, “Quack quack quack quack,”
but only four little ducks came back!
Four little ducks…
At the end, sing “And all the five little ducks came back!”
Lesson idea
Have 5 students each hold a rubber duck and act out the song. There are lots of yellow rubber ducks available, but I found these on Amazon.
