Five little children at the Holiday table
Eating all the tacos they were able
The first one said, “I can’t eat any more”
And left to take a nap. Then there were four.
Four little children at the Holiday table
Eating all the mashed potatoes they were able
The next one said, “that’s enough for me”
And left to take a nap. Then there were three.
Three little children at the Holiday table
Eating all the squash they were able
The next one said, “That’s it. I’m through.”
And left to take a nap. Then there were two.
Two little children at the Holiday table
Eating all the lasagna they were able
The next one said, “ I’m full, I’m done”
And left to take a nap. Then there was one
One little child at the Holiday table
Eating all the salad she was able
The last one said, “I’m ready for some pie”
And the others ran back in saying, “So am I!”
Teacher Tip: Substitute the word holiday with any upcoming holidays and substitute the food items with your student's favorite foods for that day.
