Song: three verses to the tune of “Mary Had a Little Lamb”
First Verse: “I’m a fuzzy caterpillar, caterpillar, caterpillar. I’m a fuzzy caterpillar about to make a cocoon.”

Second Verse: “I’m wrapped in a cocoon, a cocoon, a cocoon. I’m wrapped in a cocoon about to spread my wings.”

Third Verse: “I’m a pretty butterfly, butterfly, butterfly. I’m a pretty butterfly about to fly away.”

Motions:
First Verse: Hold out your left arm, bending your elbow so your forearm is parallel to your chest. Use your right hand to imitate a caterpillar crawling along the ground (your left forearm).

Second Verse: Wrap your arms around yourself as if you were giving yourself a hug. Twist your torso right and left just to add more motion.

Third Verse: Spread your arms out to your sides and “flap” them up and down as if you are flying.

Create three sets of flash cards with pictures on them, which includes: one card with a picture of a caterpillar, one with a picture of a cocoon and one with a picture of a butterfly. Give each student a set of flashcards and have them sequence the flashcards.
