Three Baby Owls

By Nancy Harding Groves

Three baby owls

1. (Hold up three fingers.)

Stretched their wings to fly

2. (Lock thumbs and spread fingers.)

As snow softly fell

3. (Stretch arms above head and flutter fingers as arms come down.)

From the moonless sky.

4. (Cover face with hands.)

One flew left,

5. (Lock thumbs and bend fingers to act like wings; “fly” to the left.)

One flew right,

6. (Repeat, but “fly” to the right.)

And one flew straight

Into the night.

7. (Repeat, but “fly” straight ahead, stretching arms out.)
