Children who enter kindergarten ready to read have heard on average 30 million more words than children who are not ready to read. Talking to your child about animals and the sounds they make or how they move is a fun way to share new words with your child. You can sing this song with different animals and different actions, like sleeping little kitties that pounce, pounce, pounce. Have fun!
Sleeping Bunnies
See the little bunnies sleeping till it’s nearly noon. (Pretend to sleep)
Come along let’s wake them with a merry tune.
Sun is up! (make circle with arms)
Time to rise.
Wake up soon.
Hop little bunnies. Hop, hop, hop. (hop around)
Hop little bunnies. Hop, hop, hop.
