Tulips
Ten little tulips, bright and gay (hold up 10 fingers)
Let us water them each day ("sprinkle" fingers)
Watch them open in the bright sunlight (cup hands, then open them)
And watch them close when it is night (close hands again)

A Little Sun
A little sun (raise arms in a circle over head)
A little rain ("sprinkle" fingers)
Now pull up all the weeds (pretend to pull weeds from floor)
Our flowers grow (straighten and stretch arms)
All in a row (keep "growing")

Dig, Dig, Dig
I dig, dig, dig (digging motion)
And I plant some seeds. (planting motion)
I rake, rake, rake (raking motion)
And I pull some weeds. (pulling motion)
I wait and watch (hands on hips)
And soon I know, (point to self)
My garden sprouts (hands low, palms down)
And starts to grow. (raise hands toward ceiling)
From teeny, tiny seeds (pinch thumbs and index fingers as if holding a seed)
