I’m A Little Airplane
Added: 07-16-1998

Sung to: “I’m a Little Teapot”
I’m a little airplane, (children raise arms at sides to shoulder height.)
Now watch me fly! (They spin one of their arms in front of them as if it were a propeller)
Here are my instruments
From down low to up high. (With their other arm, they reach from the ground to above their heads.)
First I get revved up. (Children make engine-like noises while still spinning their arms.)
Then I can fly, (Children raise arms to shoulder height.)
Lifting off the runway (They start walking forward.)
Up into the sky! (They go up on their tiptoes and continue to move forward. Let them circle a while before returning to their original positions.)

Once I saw an anthill
With no ants about;
So I said, “Dear little ants
Won’t you please come out?”
Then as if the little ants
Had heard my call,
One, two, three, four, five came out,
And that was all.

One little acrobat swinging through the air.
(Hold index finger up and swing side to side.)
He flips and he flops as we stare.
(Make index finger bend up and down.)
And suddenly he’s caught by another with flare!
(Excitement in voice, lock both index fingers together.)
He didn’t even know that he gave me a scare!
(Shake head and wipe brow.)
One little acrobat swinging through the air
(Hold index finger up and swing side to side.)
He lands and bows with the greatest of care!
(With left palm facing up, place right hand with index finger up on left palm and bend it as to bow. )
