Activity:
Four Little Bats
(original: Five Little Bats, sing to the tune of "Five Little Ducks")
Four little bats went out for a flight
On a crisp and clear fall night
Mother Bat called, "Please come right back!"
But only three little bats flew back
Three little bats went out for a flight
On a crisp and clear fall night
Mother Bat called, "Please come right back!"
But only two little bats flew back
Two little bats went out for a flight
On a crisp and clear fall night
Mother Bat called, "Please come right back!"
But only one little bat flew back
One little bat went out for a flight
On a crisp and clear fall night
Mother Bat called, "Please come right back!"
But no little bats flew back
Mother Bat went out for a flight
To look for her four little bats that night
When Mother Bat saw them, she said "BOO!"
And right back home four bats flew
I only had time to make four pom-pom bats (see above photo), so the activity was shortened. The few kids who were there wanted to keep the bats, so I was actually left with only one.
Bedtime Beans never really took off, but I thought this was a quick, simple storytime. The kids thought the little bats were cute, so I'll take what I can get!
