Prepare five paper or felt spiders. Sing “Five Little Spiders” to the tune of “The Itsy Bitsy Spider.” Place the five spiders on a felt or magnet board. Remove them one at a time to the song.


Five little spiders went up the water spout.

Down came the rain and washed one spider out.

Out came the sun and dried up all the rain and

the four little spiders went up the spout again.


Repeat the song with four, three, two and then one little spider.
