5 little men in a flying saucer

This has to be one of my favourite songs ever due to the fact that it was one of the favourites of my youngest child.  I have great memories of fun times bringing it alive using different props that we would make.

Here is a simple and quick prop pack that I have made and used with the families I work with time and time again.

You will need:

• Printer
• Laminator and lamiating pouches
• Scissors

I printed off the space background and the picture of the 5 little men in the flying saucer from Sparklebox, which is an early years site with some great printables.

I used the image of the alien from the Toy Story films due to the fact that its an image that most of the children recognise for the rhyme.

I then made up a rhyme card to add to the pack for the families to use as not everyone has heard of the rhyme.

Flew round the earth one day

They looked left and right

But they didn’t like the sight

So one man flew away.

Flew round the earth one day

So one man flew away.

So one man flew away.
