Five Little Monkeys
Five little monkeys jumping on the bed,
One fell off and bumped his head!
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said,
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"
Countdown until none are left

Ten in the Bed
There were ten in the bed and the little one said,
"Roll over, roll over!"
So they all rolled over and one fell out."

Countdown until only one is left, then say:
"There was one in the bed, and the little one said,
I've got the whole bed to myself!" (tune of Whole World in His Hands)

Twinkle Little Star
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
