Caterpillar (traditional)
A caterpillar crawled (Crawl right index finger up the left arm like a caterpillar.)
To the top of a tree.
"I think I'll take a nap," said he. (Wiggle right index finger.)
So under the leaf he began to creep. (Move under left hand.)
He spun a cocoon and he fell asleep. (Make fist around index finger.)
For two long weeks he slept in that cocoon bed,
Till spring came along and said,
"Wake up! Wake up! You sleepy head." (Shake arms.)
Out of the leaf he did cry.
"Look, I am a butterfly." (Hook thumbs and spread fingers to make a butterfly.)

Clock
There's a neat little clock,
In the schoolroom it stands.
And it points to the time
With its two little hands.
And may we, like the clock,
Keep a face clean and bright,
With hands ever ready
To do what is right.

The elephant walks this way and that,
He's terribly big and terribly fat.
He has no fingers,
He has no toes,
But goodness gracious,
What a nose!

The fifth one said, "Let's have some fun!"
When "ooooooh" went the wind
And out went the light
And the five little pumpkins
Rolled out of sight.
