Flannel Friday: Five Little Men in a Flying Saucer

Inspired by Library Quine at Loons and Quines, I went ahead and made my own copy of Five Little Men in a Flying Saucer!

Rhyme:
Five little men in a flying saucer
Looked around the world one day
They looked left and looked right
But they didn’t like the sight
So one man flew away

Four little men in a flying saucer…count down.

Haven’t got a plan set in place to use this one, but I am a huge space geek — so I’m sure I’ll find a storytime for it.

Tracey has the round-up this week. Melissa started this. Anne has the archive. And you can also follow the Flannel Friday Pinterest account. And Flannel Friday has its own Facebook page! If you participate in Flannel Friday, Melissa has a button if you want to link up to us here.

    I’m definitely going to save this idea for the 2012 Summer Reading theme. I was planning to do a space story time, and this will make the perfect addition!

    Just googled number rhymes resources and saw this, thought ….looks familiar turns out there are rather a lot of people creating resources from my five little men resource I like that you’ve cut the pieces out. If anyone else makes this would love to see others variations (post here: http://alljoinin.blogspot.com/2011/08/five-little-men-in-flying-saucer.html)
