Cancion- Cinco Calabazas (Song- Five Pumpkins)

Cinco calabazas on a sunny day
Along comes ________ and carries one away. (take one away each time)

Now how many pumpkins are there? (child answers in Spanish). If you know and would like to use more Spanish, you can ask this question in Spanish: "Ahora, cuantas calabazas hay?

Cuatro calabazas on a sunny day.
Along comes _______ and carries one away.........

Tres- 3
Dos- 2
Una- 1 (feminine since calabaza is feminine)
Ninguna- none

Continue until there are no pumpkins left.

In the blank, you can insert any person or word. Sometimes I use each child's name in the class and let them carry a pumpkin away when I call their name and answer how many are left. You could use your name, your child's name or any other word you think of!
