Five Little Ducks

One of my favorite songs is Five Little Ducks, the students love it too.  We have been reading about ducks in our classroom.  Some of the books have been fiction and some non-fiction.  Some of my favorite ducks books are One Duck Stuck, Come Along Daisy, and Do like a Duck Does.  During our time reading about ducks we sang Five Little Ducks and we acted it out.  We acted it out first using the mats in the picture below.  To make the mats I used green and blue construction paper and this website's resources to make the ducks.

Then we acted out 5 little ducks using students.  They loved pretending to be ducks and wanted to do it over an over again.  When we acted it out we use a life size 5 frame to help them visualize what 5 ,4, 3, 2, 1, and 0 look like in a 5 frame.
