Penguin Parade

Waddle, waddle, waddle
From side to side.
Penguins go a-walking
Slip, slip, slide.

With a funny jump
The penguins dash
Down to the water
Splash! Splash! Splash!

Waddle from the water
With a rock'n roll
Penguins go parading
On a wintry stroll.

 

 

I Know A Little Penguin
(Sung to tune: "I'm a LittleTeapot")

I know a little penguin
Who sat on some blocks,
He swam in the ocean
And he climbed on some rocks!
He snapped at a seagull,
He snapped at a seal,
He snapped at a fish,
Oh, what a meal!

I'm A Little Penquin

  (Sung to tune: I'm A Little Teapot)

I'm a little penguin in the snow.
I slide on my tummy to and fro.
I eat the fish from the deep blue sea.
I'm black and white, just look at me.

 

 

Penguin Thoughts

Have you ever seen penguins
 in picture books?
I always smile when I see their looks.
They look like men
in their fancy suits,
All black and white from
 head to boots.
I often wonder when it snows,
Do they freeze
their little penguin toes?
Do they shiver and shake
in their land of ice?
Sitting on icebergs
CAN'T BE NICE!

 

On Top Of An Iceberg

 (Tune: "On Top of Old Smoky")

On top of an iceberg,
All covered with snow,
I saw my first penguin
And I wanted to know.
Oh is it a bird,
Or is it a fish?
I looked at his feathers,
And knew which was which.
I said, "Mr. Penguin,
Which species are you?"
He said, "I'm an emperor,
And not a gentoo."
I said, "Mr. Penguin,
What's under you patch?"
He said, "It's an egg,
It's ready to hatch!"
I said, "Mr. Penguin,
Oh, where is your wife?"
"She's out in the ocean,
She'll be back tonight."
Said Mr. Penguin,
"Her name is Jill.
She's out in the ocean,
Feeding on krill."
The next thing I knew,
I heard a small peep.
And I saw a chick,
At the emperor's feet!

 

 Six Little Penguins

Their suits are black
and their vests are white.
They waddle to the left and they waddle to the right.
They stand on the ice
and they look very neat,
As they waddle along
on their little flat feet.
Six little penguins
off an iceberg did dive,
One bumped his beak,
 then there were five.
Five little penguins
swam the ocean floor,
One saw a whale,
 then there were four.
Four little penguins spun around, whee-ee!
One spun off, then there were three!
Three little penguins,
with nothing to do,
One went fishing,
then there were two.
Two little penguins, having lots of fun,
One fell off, then there was one.
One little penguin,
when the day was done,
Went home to sleep,
then there were none.

 

 



Paper Bag Penguins
Materials Needed:
Black Paper Bag
Construction Paper
Glue
Newspaper

Instructions:
Draw an oval on white copy paper and cut it out. Glue it onto the bag to be the penguins tummy. The bottom of the bag is the bottom of the penguin.
 Ball up pieces of newspaper and stuff the bag to the top. Fold down the top opening of the bag corner to corner meeting in the back of the penguin,
then stapled it closed. It should look like a fat bag with a triangle point at the top.
Cut a black circle and glue it above the white tummy (over the stapled part) for the penguins head.
Cut and attach 2 orange webbed feet, 1 yellow triangle beak, and eyes.
