One Elephant Went Out to Play

One elephant went out to play
Upon a Spiders web one day
He had such enormous fun
That he called for another elephant to come…
Oh Elephant!

Two elephants went out to play
Upon a Spiders web one day
They had such enormous fun
That they called for another elephant to come…
Oh Elephant!

Three elephants went out to play
Upon a Spiders web one day
They had such enormous fun
That they called for another elephant to come…
Oh Elephant!

Four elephants went out to play
Upon a Spiders web one day
They had such enormous fun
That they called for another elephant to come…
Oh Elephant!

Five elephants went out to play
Upon a Spiders web one day
They had such enormous fun
That they called for another elephant to come…
Oh Elephant!

… up to ten

All the elephants were out at play
Upon a spiders web one day
They had such enormous fun
But there were no more elephants left to come!

Saying ‘One elephant went out and play’ put first elephant on the felt board, after calling ‘Oh elephant’ set another one beside and so on till there are no more elephants left.

Our best part is to call ‘Oh Elephant’ every time using different voice. My baby enjoy and laugh every time.
