Five Brave
Astronauts
Five brave astronauts floated
into space (5 fingers float)
The first one disappeared without a trace (show one then quickly hide behind
back)
The second one somersaulted past the moon (roll hands)
The third on entered the atmosphere too soon (hands to face)
The fourth one took off counting ten to zero (show 10 fingers then none)
And the fifth one landed safely like a hero. (jump then hands on hips)
