Clara George: Listen
Sleeping Bunnies
(Traditional)
This song is a favorite among preschoolers. It also serves as a valuable earthquake drill. The children should curl up in a ball with the hands behind the neck (to protect the brain stem). The children should remain still during the introduction of the song. When the song says to wake up, the children stand up and hop like bunnies. They will ask to do it again and again!
Lyrics:
See the sleeping bunnies.
Sleeping 'til it's nearly noon.
They're so still.
Are they ill?
Let us gently wake them up to play.
Hop, little bunnies, hop hop hop. (3x)
Now stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!
