A-hunting we will go,
A-hunting we will go,
We'll catch a fox
And put him in a box,
And then we'll let him go.

Mouse...house
Frog...log
Goat...boat
Bear...chair

• Book #2 – Pots and Pans by Patricia Hubbell, illustrated by Diane deGroat
• Activity – Ten Fingers (fingerplay, I'm not sure where I got this one)

I have ten little fingers
And they all belong to me.
I can make them do things.
Would you like to see?
I can shut them up tight
Or open them wide.
I can put them together
Or make them all hide.
I can make them jump high.
I can make them jump low.
I can fold them quietly
And hold them just so.

• Closing - Rhythm sticks using "Goin' On a Bear Hunt" from Kids In Action by Greg and Steve
• Craft – Decorate paper plate maracas with stickers and crepe-paper streamers
