Let’s count backwards from five using this next action nursery rhyme. Start by holding up five fingers, tuck one finger down for every time a Speckled Frog jumps into the pool! 

 

Five little speckled frogs, 
Sat on a speckled log, 
Eating some most delicious bugs. 
Yum yum! 
One jumped into the pool, 
Where it was nice and cool, 
Then there were four speckled frogs. 
Glub glub!
