Pete the Clown and his Three Bright Balloons<\/strong><\/p>\n (Credit: Story Time Secrets<\/a>)<\/p>\n (We just did three balloons)<\/p>\n Pete the Clown bought three bright balloons at the circus. (The tune for Pete\u2019s song is what you would sing if you were part of a conga line.)<\/p>\n But then\u2026 POP! Did Pete cry? No, never. \u201cI\u2019ve got two balloo-oons! I\u2019ve got two balloo-oons!\u201d<\/p>\n (Repeat the same sequence of events until Pete is out of balloons, then add the following ending.)<\/p>\n Pete was out of balloons! What could he do?<\/p>\n Well, he stopped where he was, turned around, and went back to the circus, where he got three more balloons.<\/p>\n As he walked along, he sang his song: We share a lot of songs, bounces\u00a0& rhymes during storytime! I told the kids I don’t know any circus tricks, but that I knew a magic trick. I could make a bunny come out of my top hat! After the bunny appeared, we sang a song:<\/p>\n Did You Ever See a Bunny Hop Out of a Hat?<\/strong><\/p>\n (To the tune of Did You Ever See a Lassie?)<\/p>\n Did you ever see a bunny, a bunny, a bunny Did you ever see a clown… waddle this way and that?

\nHe was so excited about them, he sang a song as he walked along.
\n\u201cI\u2019ve got three balloo-oons! I\u2019ve got three balloo-oons!\u201d<\/p>\n
\nOne balloon broke and started to drop.
\nNow how many balloons did Pete have?<\/p>\n
\nHe knows balloons don\u2019t last forever.
\nPete was still so happy to have two balloons, that he kept walking along and singing his song.<\/p>\n
