I found the cute little rhyme for 10 Little Dump Trucks on a previous Flannel Friday at YA Librarian Tales from 2012.
I found cute dump truck clipart with a Google search (this is the exact one that I used).
I changed this rhyme up because my storytime attendance number varies. Instead of saying each child's name, I substituted with the color of the dump truck, but I let the kids decide what each truck was filled with.
Ten dump trucks all in a row. All filled with something & a place to go
Red Dump Truck is filled with ___, that's fine! Now there's only nine.
Nine dump trucks all in a row. All filled with something & a place to go.
Orange Dump Truck is filled with ___, that's great! Now there's only eight.
Eight dump trucks all in a row. All filled with something & a place to go.
Yellow Dump Truck is filled with ___, don't question! Now there's only seven.
Seven dump trucks all in a row. All filled with something & a place to go.
Green Dump Truck is filled with ___, what a mix! Now there's only six.
Six dump trucks all in a row. All filled with something & a place to go.
Blue Dump Truck is filled with ___, are they alive? Now there's only five.
Five dump trucks all in a row. All filled with something & a place to go.
Purple Dump Truck is filled with ___, ready to pour! Now there's only four.
Four dump trucks all in a row. All filled with something & a place to go.
Hot Pink Dump Truck is filled with ___, could it be? Now there's only three.
Three dump trucks all in a row. All filled with something & a place to go.
Pink Dump Truck is filled with ___, what to do? Now there's only two.
Two dump trucks all in a row. All filled with something & a place to go.
Gray Dump Truck is filled with ___, weighing a ton! Now there's only one.
One dump truck all alone. It's filled with something & has a place to go.
Brown Dump Truck is filled with ___, what fun! Now there is none.
I let the kids have an opportunity to "shout" out what each truck might have inside of it. I got some pretty interesting responses: water, glue, trash, marbles, glass... Kids are funny!
