From Storytime

High-speed hoppers by Kelly Calhoun

We played with the song "Jumping and Counting."

 

ONE SQUIRREL 

     One little squirrel went out to play

     Leaping through the branches of a tree one day

     They had such enormous fun that they called for another squirrel to come.

     [Continue, adding another squirrel until you get to 5, then finish...]

     They had such enormous fun, but they scurried home before winter comes.

Bounce by Doreen Cronin

 

JUMP JUMP WENT THE LITTLE RED SQUIRREL (inspired by jbrary)

     Jump jump went the little red squirrel one day, jump jump went the little red squirrel

     Jump jump went the little red squirrel one day, and they all went jump jump jump. But…

     We know squirrels go [clap] la de la de la [wavey arms]

     [clap] la de la de la [wavey arms], [clap] la de la de la [wavey arms]

     We know squirrels go [clap] la de la de la [wavey arms], they don’t go jump jump jump.

 

     Hop hop went the little jackrabbit one day, hop hop went the little jackrabbit.

     Hop hop went the little jackrabbit one day, and they all went hop hop hop. But…

     We know rabbits go [clap] rub a dub a dub [running arms]

     [clap] rub a dub a dub [running arms], [clap] rub a dub a dub [running arms]

     We know rabbits go [clap] rub a dub a dub [running arms], they don’t go hop hop hop.

 

Rocketship Run by Laurie Berkner

We bounced the parachute to "Jump and Fly."
