Five Little Ducks Nursery Rhymes Chant Fingerplay for Kids

In this finger chant nursery rhyme have all the children start the song by holding up all five fingers.  Put one finger down each time you lose a duck.  When the ducks come back at the end have the children hold up five fingers again.

Activities: Take a trip to a duck pond or have the children draw a picture of ducks and hills that go with the song.  You can also have children learn about ducks, or have them quack and walk around acting like a duck.

Song 1:

Five little ducks went out one day

Over the hills and far away.

Papa duck called with a

“Quack, quack, quack.”

Four little ducks came swimming back.

Four little ducks went out one day

Over the hills and far away.

Papa duck called with a

“Quack, quack, quack.”

Four little ducks came swimming back.

Three little ducks went out one day

Over the hills and far away.

Papa duck called with a

“Quack, quack, quack.”

Two little ducks came swimming back.

Two little ducks went out one day

Over the hills and far away.

Papa duck called with a

“Quack, quack, quack.”

One little duck came swimming back.

One little duck went out one day

Over the hills and far away.

Papa duck called with a

“Quack, quack, quack.”

But no duck came swimming back.

Sad mother duck went out one day

Over the hills and far away.

The sad mother duck called with a

“quack, quack, quack”

All five ducks came swimming back.

Song 2

Five little ducks went out to play

Wibble wobble, wibble wobble to and fro

But one little duck

With the feather on his back

He led the others with a quack quack, quack.

Quack, quack, quack

Quack, quack, quack

He led the others with a quack, quack, quack.
