Now we're here, let's have some fun.

then we'll read and sing with me.
Welcome, welcome, everyone,
Now we're here let's have some fun.
I'm a Little Penguin [Tune: I’m a Little Tea Pot]
I’m a little penguin, black and white.
I think the cold is very nice.
I can hop around
First once, then twice.
Or slide on my belly to cross the ice.
Penguin Family
One royal penguin...feeling very blue
Called for his brother then there were two.
Two royal penguins...swimming in the sea.
Called for their sister, then there were three.
Three royal penguins waddle on the shore.
Call for their mother, then there are four.
Four royal penguins learning how to dive.
Call for their father, then there are five.
Five Little Penguins
Five little penguins swam to the ocean floor,
One swam off with a whale, then there were four.Four little penguins spun around, wheee!
One spun off the iceberg, then there were three.Three little penguins, with nothing to do,
One went off fishing, then there were two.Two little penguins, having lots of fun,
One fell in the water, then there was one.One little penguin, when the day was done.
Went home to sleep and then there none.
Penguin Song [Tune: My Bonny ]
The penguin slides over the ice bank,
The penguin slides over the sea,
Look at his black and white feathers,
That penguins as cute as can be.
