Five little turkeys

Five little turkeys by the barn door,
One waddled off, then there were four.

Four little turkeys under a tree,
One waddled off, then there were three.

Three little turkeys with nothing to do,
One waddled off, then there were two.

Two little turkeys in the noonday sun,
One waddled off, then there was one.

One little turkey better run away!
Soon will come Thanksgiving Day!

One I love

One I love,
Two I love,
Three I love, I say.
Four I love with all my heart.
Five I cast away.

From Hana in the Time of the Tulips, a nice book for parents too…

Five little speckled frogs

Five little speckled frogs
Sat on a speckled log
Eating some most delicious grubs.
One jumped into the pool
Where it was nice and cool
Then there were four green speckled frogs.

Campfire variant

Five little speckled frogs, sitting on a speckled log
Eating a most delicious fly (ya, ya, ya, ya, ya-ya)
One jumped into the pool
Where it was nice and cool
Then there were four little speckled frogs

Intery, mintery, cutery-corn

Intery, mintery, cutery-corn,
Apple seed and apple thorn;
Wire, brier, limber-lock,
Five geese in a flock;
Sit and sing by a spring,
O-U-T, and in again.
