Fingerplay- Five Pink Flamingos
Five pink flamingos standing in a row (Hold up hand showing five fingers)
Dancing around and putting on a show. (Twist hand back and forth)
They danced to the left, they dance to the right (Move hand to the left and right)
Then one pink flamingo flew out of site! (Fly hand away)
*Repeat verses counting down to 1
One pink flamingo standing in a row (or “by himself/herself”)
Dancing around and putting on a show.
S/He danced to the left, S/He dance to the right
Then that pink flamingo flew out of sight! Bye flamingos!

Rhyming Song- Frank the Flamingo (Adapted from Jasmin’s World)
Frank the Flamingo
He sleeps on one leg
Then when he strikes a pose
Everyone says “yeah”
With his big, webbed feet
He won’t fall in his sleep.
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, Frank!
Frank the Flamingo’s
Long neck and beak
Pink from head to toe
From all the shrimp he eats
He eats them day and night,
He’d never miss a snack!
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, Frank!
