5 Little Bunnies

March 23, 2016 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

Five Little Bunnies

5 little bunnies sitting on my grass
The first one said, “I’ll hop away fast”
The second little bunny said, “I’ll hop away now.”
The third little bunny said, “But I don’t know how!”
The fourth little bunny said, “I’ll show you the way.”
And the fifth little bunny followed after them to play.

As five little bunnies hopped across my lawn,
I watched from the window till they were all gone.

Actions for Five Little Bunnies

  • Start with 5 fingers from one hand sitting on opposing arm held in front of you.
  • For each bunny, hold up the number of fingers for each bunny (first one hold up one finger, second little bunny hold up two fingers, etc.)
  • As you say the line for each bunny, hop your fingers down your arm toward your hand, except the third bunny.
  • For the third bunny, shake your three fingers back and forth to show not knowing how.
  • For the final refrain, hop all five fingers down your arm and hide them behind your back for “all gone.”
