Moose

I love doing moose as a storytime theme and wanted a simple counting flannel board.  I made up a rhyme back in January and then found this cute moose at this site:  http://www.clipartandcrafts.com/clipart/themes/kidstuff/thumbs/mooseth.gif

I enlarged him and printed him on cardstock.  He worked just perfectly.

Ten Mighty Moose

Ten Mighty Moose sitting in a line,

One toppled over and then there were nine.

Nine Mighty Moose sitting on the grate,

One toppled over and then there were eight.

Eight Mighty Moose were sent from Devon,

One toppled over and then there were seven.

Seven Mighty Moose would like salt licks,

One toppled over and then there were six.

Six Mighty Moose sat listening to Clive,

One toppled over and then there were five.

Five Mighty Moose sat quietly on the floor,

One toppled over and then there were four.

Four Mighty Moose, two and two you see,

One toppled over and then there were three.

Three Mightly Moose, wanted something new,

One toppled over and then there were two.

Two Mighty Moose wished for some fun,

One toppled over and then there was one.

One Mighty Moose felt like he weighed a ton,

He toppled over and then there were none.
