Pease porridge hot,

Pease porridge in a pot, nine days old.

Some like it hot,

Some like it cold,

Some like it in a pot, nine days old.

Patty Cake

Patty cake, patty cake, baker’s man,

Bake me a cake as fast as you can

Roll it

And pat it

And mark it with a “B”

And put it in the oven for baby and me.

Five Plump Peas

Five plump peas in a pea pod pressed. (hold up fist)

One grew, two grew, and so did all the rest. (open fingers one at a time)

They grew and they grew and they never stopped. (hands together and then move apart with each “grew”)

They grew so big that the pea pod popped! (clap on popped!)
