They follow their mother, waddling to and fro, quack, quack, quack, and away they go.
(put hands behind as a tail waddle)

Down to the big pond, happy as can be, quack, quack, quack they're full of glee.
(smile)

They jump in the water, and bob up and down.

Five little ducks came waddling back.
(make wings with arms, and flap them up and down)
