How Do You Eat an Ice Cream Cone?
Original Author Unknown
Everyone does appropriate actions as you read this poem.
Some folks taste it daintily,
Others gulp it down quick-ily.
Some lick around and around,
So it never, ever comes dripping down.
Some shove the ice cream
Down with their tongue,
So at the bottom of the cone,
You’re left with some.
But some lick in just one place
So it gets sort of sloppy,
And the top plops off
In a great big bloppy!
Ice Cream Cone
Original Author Unknown
My ice cream cone is good to eat.
But I must lick it quickly
Or it will melt from the heat.
Act this poem out-you can start standing up and have the kids “melt” to the floor.

Take me out for some ice cream,
Take me out to the store.
Buy me a triple scoop jumbo cone.

For its scoop, scoop ,scoop up the ice cream–
Give me three kinds I adore!
For it’s one, two, three, scoops to go
At the ice cream store!
Dip Low The Silver Scoop
Original Author Unknown
Sung to: “Swing Low Sweet Chariot”
Dip low the silver scoop
Into the chocolate ice cream.
Dip low the silver scoop
Into the chocolate ice cream.
I looked over the counter and what did I see
Right by the chocolate ice cream?
Lots of hot fudge, caramel, and strawberry
To put on my chocolate ice cream.
Dip low the silver scoop
And have some delicious ice cream.
Try a bite, or two or three
Of this delicious ice cream

Peanuts, whipped cream, lots to munch,
At the top of my ice cream.
So delicious, it’s a dream!
Hot fudge, cherries, toffee crunch,

On Top Of My Sundae
Original Author Unknown
Sung to: “On Top of Spaghetti”
On top of my sundae
All covered with sauce
I lost my poor cherry
It really got lost.
It rolled off the table
And onto the floor
And then my poor cherry
It rolled out the door.
It rolled to the garden
And under a bush
And then my poor cherry
It turned into mush.
If you like your sundae
All covered with sauce
Hold onto your cherry
Or it will be lost.
