SONGS/ RHYMES:

Hickory, dickory dock  (Hold arm up with elbow bent).
The mouse ran up the clock (run fingers from other hand up arm).
The clock struck one (hold up one finger).
The mouse ran down (run fingers down the arm)
Hickory, dickory dock!

Three Gray Mice - sung to "Three Blind Mice"
Three gray mice, three gray mice,
See how they run. See how they run.
They all were chased by the farmer's cat.
They ran and hid in an old straw hat.
Did you ever see such a sight as that?
Three gray mice, three gray mice.

Mice
I think mice
Are rather nice.
Their tails are long
Their faces small,
They haven't any
Chins at all.
Their ears are pink,
Their teeth are white,
They run about
The house at night.
They nibble things
They shouldn't touch
And no one seems
To like them much.
But *I* think mice
Are nice.

 Little Mousie
Here's a little mousie. (Cup hands and stick finger out)
Peeking through a hole. (Peek to left/right)
Peek to the left.
Peek to the right.
Pull your head back in, (Pull head in)
There's a cat in sight ! (Meow as if cat)
