Two Little Blackbirds

Two little blackbirds sitting on a hill,    Hold up two thumbs. One named Jack and one named Jill.    Lift one, then the other. Fly away Jack,    Hide one behind your back. Fly away Jill,    Hide the other behind your back. Come back Jack    Then bring them back home again, one at a time. Come back Jill.

I spy someone wearing red;Stand up, turn around,Touch that red.(Repeat with other color names.) I spy every color I know;Stand up, turn around,We're a rainbow!

Scat The Cat

Once upon a time there was a little BLACK cat & his name was Scat the Cat. One day he looked around & saw that all his brothers & sisters & friends were black, too. Scat decided he would like to be a different color so he said:

"I'm Scat the Cat, (point to self)I'm sassy & fat (nod head)And I can change my color,Just like that!" (snap fingers or clap)

All of a sudden he was GREEN like the trees & grass. What else is green like Scat? He went out to play with his friends, but they couldn't find him because he was the color of the trees & grass. He was very unhappy & decided he didn't want to be green anymore, so he said:

"I'm Scat the Cat,I'm sassy & fat,And I can change my color,Just like that!" (snap fingers)

Then Scat turned BLUE like the water, the sky, & what else? He walked to the lake, looked at himself, & fell in the water! But poor Scat couldn't swim...he called for help but his friends couldn't see him because he was blue like the water. Just then his friend, Timothy Turtle, caught him and carried him safely to shore. Scat didn't want to be blue anymore, so he said:

"I'm Scat the Cat,I'm sassy and fat,And I can change my color,Just like that!" (snap fingers)

Then Scat turned YELLOW like the sun.On his way through the jungle, he met his cousin Leo the Lion. Leo said,"Grrrrrrrrrr! I'm the only one who is supposed to be yellow." Scat was so afraid that he said:

"I'm Scat the Cat,I'm sassy and fat,And I can change my color,Just like that!" (snap fingers)

Next, Scat turned RED like an apple. What else is the color red? He went out to play with his brothers & sisters & friends, but they all laughed at him. "Who ever heard of a red cat," they said. No one played with him & he felt so sad. "I don't want to be red. I don't want to be yellow like Leo the Lion, I don't want to be blue like the water, and I don't want to be green like the grass. I want to be black again just like my brothers & sisters & friends. I'd like to have lots of cats to play with so he said: (Repeat the verse.) Scat changed back to BLACK & after that he was happy just being himself.

(****using a file folder, cut out an outline of a cat. Staple sides together. Place the different color construction paper in order. Remove colored paper as Scat changes, ending with black)
