Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat

Recite once through with a pussy cat puppet or using hand gestures. The second time around, let children play the pussy cat and provide the responses.

Pussy cat, pussy cat, where have you been?

Pussy cat, pussy cat, what did you there?
I frightened a little mouse under a chair.
