Five Fat Peas | Bookbug Song & Rhyme Library

Press in together like peas in a pod and share this adorable wee rhyme.
RHYME WORDS:
Five fat peas in a pea pod pressed (children hold hand in a fist)
One grew, two grew, so did all the rest (put thumb and fingers up one by one)
They grew and grew and did not stop (raise hand in the air very slowly)
Until one day, the pod went POP! (children clap hands together)
How to use this song with babies:
Use your baby’s hand and do the actions. Help them create a fist (‘in a peapod pressed’). Then as ‘one grew, two grew’, touch their fingers and uncurl them.
How to use this song with toddlers:
Finish with a big clap (‘pop’). Slow down and build up the anticipation before you pop.
How to use this song with 3 to 5-year olds:
In a group, try using a piece of Lycra or other stretchy material. Everyone holds onto a piece of the material throughout the rhyme. Before starting, ask the children to clap their hands together when you say ‘pop’.
