Count down from 5 with the speckled frogs as they jump into the pool
Origin:
Five Little Speckled Frogs is a traditional nursery rhyme from America. Many singers have recoded versions since the 1980’s making it a modern classic.
Fun frog facts:
- A group of frogs is called an army.
- Frogs drink through their skin.
- Frogs have been around for 265 million years.
- A Frogs tongue is one third the length of it’s body.
If your tongue was that long it would reach your belly button!

Lyrics: Five little speckled frogs sat on a speckled log eating some most delicious flies yum yum one jumped into the pool where is was nice and cool now there are four green speckled frogs glub glub Four little speckled frogs sat on a speckled log eating some most delicious flies yum yum one jumped into the pool where is was nice and cool now there are three green speckled frogs glub glub Three little speckled frogs sat on a speckled log eating some most delicious flies yum yum one jumped into the pool where is was nice and cool now there are two green speckled frogs glub glub Two little speckled frogs sat on a speckled log eating some most delicious flies yum yum one jumped into the pool where is was nice and cool now there is one green speckled frog glub glub One little speckled frog sat on a speckled log eating some most delicious flies yum yum he jumped into the pool where is was nice and cool now there are no green speckled frogs glub glub No little speckled frogs sat on a speckled log eating the most delicious flies they all jumped out of the pool where is was nice and cool now there are five green speckled frogs glub glub
