(Chant the rhyme while kids clap on the beat. On POP!, remove one sausage from the flannelboard; on BAM!, remove another. Count the sausages aloud before starting the next verse.)

Ten fat sausages sizzling in the pan,

Ten fat sausages sizzling in the pan,

One went POP!

And the other went BAM!

And there were eight fat sausages sizzling in the pan.

Eight fat sausages sizzling in the pan…

Six fat sausages sizzling in the pan…

Four fat sausages sizzling in the pan…

Two fat sausages sizzling in the pan…

No fat sausages sizzling in the pan… (some kids prefer zero fat sausages!)
