*Ten Little Doggies<\/em>
\nTen little doggies went out one day
\n(hold 10 fingers up)
\nTo dig in the dirt and play, play, play.
\n(Pretend to dig like a dog with both hands)
\nFive were spotted, and five were not,
\n(Hold up one hand at a time)
\nand at dinner time they ate a lot!
\n(Pretend to eat)<\/p>\n

\nHow much is that doggie in the window?
