Five Little Duckies

Fun song to use with props!  Imagine gently knocking five little stuffed animals off a "wall" (table, chair, bench, etc.) and watching them tumble and roll.  In the duckies song, we send little plastic/rubber duckies off a wall and - splash! - they learn to swim in a pond (large bowl of water) ... after the song is completed, story time kids are invited to try their "aim" and help the duckies jump into the pond, then fish them out and bring them back to the wall. 
This song was introduced to KCLS librarians as Five Little Piggies ...


Five little duckies sitting on a wall,
Five little duckies sitting on wall,
If one of those duckies just happens to fall ...
How many duckies sitting on the wall?
Four!
Four little duckies sitting on a wall,
Four little duckies sitting on a wall,
If one of those duckies just happens to fall ...
How many duckies sitting on the wall?
Three!
Continue counting down until you reach zero or none.
No little duckies sitting on a wall,
No little duckies sitting on wall,
But if Mama Ducky just happens to call - "Hey, little duckies, come back to the wall!"
How many duckies come back to the wall?
One, two, three, four, five!
