Animal Dance Song
This lively movement song helps children build their vocabulary of action verbs by connecting animal names with the movements they make, such as hop, swim, climb, flap, waddle and march. As children sing along and act out each motion, they reinforce their understanding of different animals and how they move, strengthening word meaning through repetition, rhythm and full body participation in a fun and energetic way.
Hop hop bunny, bop bop bunny
We all hop, we all bop, oh so sunny
Swim swim fishy, glide glide fishy
We all swim, we all glide, oh so splashy
Jump and jiggle, all the animals wiggle
Jump and jiggle, all the animals wiggle
Climb climb monkey, swing swing monkey
We all climb, we all swing, we feel funky
Flap flap birdie, chirp chirp birdie
We all flap, we all chirp, high in the tree
Jump and jiggle, all the animals wiggle
Jump and jiggle, all the animals wiggle
Waddle waddle duckling, quack quack duckling
We all waddle, all quack, no more muddling
March march penguin, slide slide penguin
We all march, we all slide, no more fumbling
Jump and jiggle, all the animals wiggle
Jump and jiggle, all the animals wiggle
