3. Song: Five Little Bunnies
One little bunny, wondering what to do,
another bunny came along, then there were two.
Two little bunnies, hopping like me, (Hop)
another bunny came along, and then there were three.
Three little bunnies, jumping around outdoors,
another bunny joined them, and then there were four.
Four little bunnies, so fluffy and alive,
another bunny joined them, and then there were five.
Five little bunnies, ready for some fun,
hopped away in the warm, spring sun.

5. Finger play: Little Rabbit
I saw a little rabbit go hop, hop, hop. (hold up two fingers and go hop, hop, hop)
I saw his long ears go flop, flop, flop. (place hands above head and flop)
I saw his little nose go twink, twink, twink. (wiggle nose)
I said, "Little Rabbit, won't you stay?" (Make beckoning motion)
But he just looked at me and hopped way. (Make two fingers hop away)
I saw a little rabbit go hop, hop, hop. (hold up two fingers and go hop, hop, hop)
I saw his long ears go flop, flop, flop. (place hands above head and flop)
I saw his little nose go twink, twink, twink. (wiggle nose)
I said, "Little Rabbit, won't you stay?" (Make beckoning motion)
But he just looked at me and hopped way. (Make two fingers hop away)
Little Bunny (Traditional)There was a little bunny that lived in the wood, (Make a bunny with your fingers)
He wiggled his ears, as a good bunny should. (Wiggle fingers)
He hopped by a squirrel, (Hop your bunny down the other arm)
He hopped by a tree. (Hop your bunny down the other arm)
He hopped by a duck, (Hop your bunny down the other arm)
And he hopped by me. (Hop your bunny down the other arm)
He stared at the squirrel. (Stare)He stared at the tree (Stare)
He stared at the duck. (Stare)
But he made faces at me! (Wiggle nose in rabbit fashion)
