Cut out five stars and a moon to use with the flannel board as you recite this rhyme during large group.


Five little stars shine and shine some more,

One fell to the earth and then there were four.

Four little stars, happy as can be,

One fell to the earth and then there were three.

Three little stars in a sky so blue,

One fell to the earth and then there were two.

Two little stars, having lots of fun,

One fell to the earth and then there was one.

One little star left all alone,

That one fell to earth and then there were none.

The moon came out – what a pretty sight!

He waved to the stars and he said, “Good night.”
