Spider poems:

Cobweb Ride
Little spider likes to climb up a flower hill
Up and up and up he goes
Up and up until
He stands upon the very top
Then quickly down he slides
I think it must be lots of fun
To go on cobweb rides.

More Spider Songs
Tune: I'm a Little Teapot:
I'm a little spider watch me spin
If you'll be my dinner
I'll let you come in
Then I'll spin a web to hold you tight
And gobble you up in ONE BIG BITE!
Tune: O Susanna
I was sitting in my room one day
When it came right through the door
A big spider sped right by me-
Went racing cross the floor
Chorus:
Oh that spider
Oh how it scared me so
But spiders can be good friends
And so I let it go
I watched it crawl up on the wall,
to find a spot just right
It spun a web so beautiful
And then went out of sight
CHORUS
Now bugs and flies do not scare me
For I know that its true
That a spiderweb is good to have
Bugs stick to it like glue
CHORUS

Here's another spider song. The tune is to the Farmer in the Dell
The spider in the web, the spider in the web
spin , spin, oh watch him spin,
The spider in the web.
The spider eats a_____ ( any kind of bug)
The spider eats a_____.
Spin spin oh watch him spin the spider in the web.
Actvity:
I drew large spider webs on white tag and had the kids draw a spider in the middle. Each child was given a sheet of small bug stickers. We used large foam dice and rolled the dice. The children then put the correct number of bugs in the web for their spider to have lunch with.
