Five Little Monsters Eating in the Bed
Five little monsters eating in the bed
One dropped breadcrumbs on the bedspread
 Mama Monster shook her head:
“No more monsters eating in the bed!”
(Repeat until none are left)  

If You're A Monster and You Know It 
(Tune of "Happy and You Know It")
If you're a monster and you know it, show your claws
If you're a monster and you know it, show your claws
If you're a monster and you know it
Then your claws will surely show it
If you're a monster and you know it, show your claws.

Repeat with:
Grind your teeth
Stomp your feet
Growl out loud


Monster Lunch
Once upon a time, there was a monster, and he was very, very hungry… 

 This monster ate a monster lunch,
 Of monster pie, with monster punch

 He munched upon a monster plum,
This monster rubbed his monster tum

 He licked a monster lollipop,
And drank a can of soda pop

 He chomped a piece of monster cake -
 And got a monster stomachache!

Shape Monster

Shape Monster, Shape Monster
Munch, munch, munch
 What would you like to eat for your lunch?

(repeat with different shapes - discuss the shapes and colors)
