Peter Piper
A Tongue Twister
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.

The Pig
Tune: Camptown Races
The pig rolls in the mud all day.
Oink-oink, oink-oink.
That is what he likes to say,
Oink-oink-oink-oink-oink.
Curly tail that grows,
Pudgy little nose.
Mud is where he likes to be,
And it really shows.

Its heart was all a-flutter.

Popcorn Popping
Tune: The Man in the Flying Trapese
Oh, ...I looked out the window and what did I see,
Popcorn popping on the apricot tree.
Spring had brought me such a nice surprise,
Popcorn popping right before my eyes.
I can take an armful and make a treat,
A popcorn ball that would smell so sweet.
It wasn't really so... but it seemed to be...
Popcorn popping on the apricot tree.
This can be sung as a song or told as a fingerplay.
You can use hand motions to fit the song such as:
Put your hands together over your head to look like a tree
or make your hands into fists and let your fingers burst out
as though they are popcorn kernels bursting into popcorn, etc.
