Cut potatoes from brown paper, number each one one-10 and pass out to the children in the group. Have the children stand and step forward when their number is called as you recite the following chant: One potato, two potato, three potato, four. I made a batch of hot potatoes (Stir as in a big pot) and dropped them on the floor! (Put hands on face in surprise) Five potato, six potato, seven potato, eight. I stomped them into mashed potatoes (Stomp feet) and plopped them on a plate! (Pretend to plop potatoes on a plate) Nine potato, ten potato, I can't believe my eyes! (Cover and uncover eyes) The children ate the mashed potatoes. Now they want French fries! (March and swing arms while counting) How many fries? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. (Jump up and reach over head to sky on 10.)
