Five Little Snowmen
Tune: Up on the Housetop
adapted by Mrs. Jones from a poem by Mary Ann Hoberman
A song to illustrate on your fingers the number of digits that equals five


    
(Put up five fingers on your left hand and zero on your right hand)
Five 5 little men all made of snow,
Five 5 little snowmen in a row
Out came the sun and shone all day
One 1 little snowman melted away.
(Put one finger down on your left hand and put one finger up on your right hand)
Ho Ho Ho
One 1 had to go
Ho Ho Ho
One 1 had to go
Now there's four 4 snowmen in a row
'Cause one 1 little snowman had to go.

   
Four 4 little men all made of snow,
Four 4 little snowmen in a row
Out came the sun and shone all day
One 1 little snowman melted away.
(Put another finger down on your left hand and put two fingers up on your right hand)
Ho Ho Ho
Two 2 had to go
Ho Ho Ho
Two 2 had to go
Now there's three 3 snowmen in a row
'Cause two 2 little snowmen had to go.

  
Three 3 little men all made of snow,
Three 3 little snowmen in a row
Out came the sun and shone all day
One 1 little snowman melted away.
(Put another finger down on your left hand and put three fingers up on your right hand)
Ho Ho Ho
Three 3 had to go
Ho Ho Ho
Three 3 had to go
Now there's two 2 snowmen in a row
'Cause three 3 little snowmen had to go.

 
Two 2 little men all made of snow,
Two 2 little snowmen in a row
Out came the sun and shone all day
One 1 little snowman melted away.
(Put another finger down on your left hand and put four fingers up on your right hand)
Ho Ho Ho
Four 4 had to go
Ho Ho Ho
Four 4 had to go
Now there's one 1 snowman in a row
'Cause four 4 little snowmen had to go.


One 1 little man all made of snow,
One 1 little snowman in a row
Out came the sun and shone all day
The one 1 little snowman melted away.
(Put the last finger down on your left hand to show zero
and put five fingers up on your right hand)

Ho Ho Ho
Five 5 had to go
Ho Ho Ho
Five 5 had to go
Now there's no snowmen in a row
'Cause five 5 little snowmen had to go.
