The countdown to Easter is on!!

Hello everyone,

Hope Monday went smoothly for everyone! Anyone else feel like that was the fastest mid-term ever?? Today, I had one of those days where I felt like the hours just vanished on me! I also nearly fainted when I looked at the calendar and saw how soon Easter is! Soooo much to do and sooooo little time! I spent half an hour after school frantically digging for my Easter resource pack and was delighted to discover lots of rhymes and songs that I forgot I had!

I thought I'd share them for you, there's a mixture of Easter rhymes and songs -  nice for transitions, performing or linking into lessons!

If you would like a copy, do the usual, drop a mail to littlemissteacherblog@gmail.com or PM me on facebook!

Time is flying!

Easter Rhymes, Songs & Finger-plays

Bunnies Bunnies are brown Bunnies are white Bunnies are always An Easter delight. Bunnies are cuddly The large and the small. But I like chocolate ones The best of them all.	Easter Everywhere Rabbits soft and cuddly Baby chickens, too. Easter eggs for baskets White and pink and blue. Easter cards of greeting, Music in the air, Lilies just to tell us It's Easter everywhere
Hop, Hop, Hop Hop, hop, hop, Hop my bunny hop, Hop along my little bunny You look sweet and very funny On this Easter day. Look and see, Where the eggs may be, Here is on and here's another, Here's a lovely one for mother. Let us look and see, Where the eggs may be.	Easter The Easter Bunny's feet Go hop, hop, hop, While his big pink ears Go flop, flop, flop. He is rushing on his way To bring our eggs on Easter Day, With a hop, flop, hop, flop, hop.
Five Brown Eggs Five brown eggs in a nest of hay, One yellow chick popped out to play. Four brown eggs in a nest of hay, Another yellow chick cheep-cheeped Good day. Three brown eggs in a nest of hay, Crack went another one, Hip hooray. Two brown eggs in a nest of hay, One more chick pecked his shell away. One brown egg in a nest of hay, The last yellow chick popped out to say, Happy Easter!	Five Baby Bunnies Five baby bunnies hopping out to play, Hopping in the forest on happy Easter Day. The first baby bunny carried his new cane, He twirled as he came hopping down the lane. The second baby bunny came to the river's brink. Tasted the cool water and took a long, long drink. The third baby bunny tied her bonnet so new, Under her chin, a bow of pink, white, and blue. The fourth baby bunny skipped down the shady lane. He opened his umbrella just in case of rain. The fifth baby bunny said, "Look what I see" Lots and lots of coloured eggs hiding near the tree.
Mr Bunny Mr. Bunny, Mr. Bunny, Won't you stop, stop, stop? "No," said Mr. Bunny, I must hop, hop, hop. Easter is coming, and there is lots to do. Eggs must be coloured green, pink, and blue. I'll tie each basked with a pretty bow. Children are waiting so I must go!"	Some Things That Easter Brings Easter duck and Easter chick, Easter eggs with chocolate thick. Easter hats for one and all, Easter Bunny makes a call! Happy Easter always brings Such a lot of pleasant things.
Secret Information Would you like to know a secret? Well, I'll tell you one I know: The Easter's Bunny's coming, My mammy told me so. He'll bring a basket filled with eggs And leave it in my yard, And I will find it Easter morn, If I look very hard. I shouldn't tell my secret, But I think it should be shared. You ought to know that Bunny's coming, So you can be prepared!	Finding a Treat Hippity hop, hippity hop, Will the Easter Bunny stop? Will he leave a treat behind An Easter basket for me to find? I'll look over here, I'll look over there, I'll look behind things, I'll look everywhere. I'll look until I find my treat, And then I'll sit right down and eat.
Easter Surprise Easter eggs, Yellow and blue, Easter eggs, For me and you. Easter eggs, Candy sweet, Easter eggs, Are good to eat. Easter eggs, Pretty and funny, But... WHERE OH WHERE IS THE EASTER BUNNY?	Egg Hunt (to the tune of "Clementine") Easter morning, Easter morning, Easter morning dawning fine Have to find the Easter eggs now, I've already picked up nine.                            Fill the basket, fill the basket, fill the basket every time Candy eggs and jelly beans are tucked behind each growing pine.                        Bend and scramble, bend and scramble, bend and scramble, reach and climb. Find each hidden Easter treat now, pick them up and they'll be mine.                    See them glow and see them glisten, see them glow and see them shine. Join me with my Easter candy and together we will dine.
He Hopped So Very Quietly We didn't hear the Easter Bunny Hopping down the hall --- He hopped so very quietly, He made no noise at all. But on the breakfast table He left bright Easter toys --- Downy chicks for little girls And rabbits for the boys. Then we found bright Easter eggs Tucked behind the chairs Upon the windowsill and in The corners of the stairs.	Easter Bunny Easter bunny soft and white Hopping quickly out of sight. Thank you for the eggs you bring At Easter time to welcome spring. Yellow eggs and blue and red In the grass and flower bed We will hunt them everywhere Is it really you who put them there?
Did you Ever see a Bunny? (Sung to: "Did you ever see a lassie?") Did you ever see a bunny, a bunny, a bunny, Did you ever see a bunny, that hops -- so slow? He hops, and hops, and hops, and hops, Did you ever see a bunny, that hops so slow? 2.That hops -- So Fast?,                        3, That hops -- Backwards?,	Easter Bunny (Sung to: "Ten Little Indians") Hop along little Easter Bunny, Hop along little Easter Bunny, Hop along little Easter Bunny, Hop along your way.                                                                 Hide all the eggs and Easter candy, Hide all the eggs and Easter candy, Hide all the eggs and Easter candy, Hop along your way.
I'm A Little Chick  (Sung to: "I'm a Little Teapot") I'm a little chick inside an egg I'm always sleeping - snoring away Soon you'll hear a pecking, pecking sound The egg will crack and out I'll pop.	5 Little Eggs  5 little Easter eggs, Lovely colours wore; Mother ate the blue one, Then there were four. 4 little Easter eggs, Two and two, you see; Daddy ate the red one, Then there were three. 3 little Easter eggs, Before I knew, Sister ate the yellow one, Then there were two.
