1, 2, 3 Go! Mischievous Mice

If you've been to our 1, 2, 3, Go! program, then you are familiar with the energetic stories, rhymes and musical activities enjoyed each week by children ages 1 - 3.  The stories and rhymes below introduce concepts such as repetition and rhyming using sounds and consonance.  The actions and movements used help children develop motor skills as they clap and jump, as well as, make connections with new words and sounds. Our theme this week was mischievous little mice as they run, scamper and squeak.


Five Little Mice
Five little mice on the kitchen floor
Looking for bread crumbs and something more.
This little mouse peeked behind the door.
This little mouse nibbled at the cake.
This little mouse not a sound did make.
This little mouse took a bite of cheese.
This little mouse heard a kitten sneeze.“Ah-choo!” sneezed the kitten,
And “Squeak!” they cried, As they found a hole and ran inside
