Animal actions time! Act out the animal (check the lyrics to learn the order!) and perhaps you have learnt the makaton signs for them too (a Google could help if not). You can be the animal or do the actions on your baby, but the chorus always ends in a cuddle!
lyrics
Can you crunch like a tiger,
Prowling about?
Can you run like a spider,
Scuttling around the house?
Can you stomp like an elephant,
Trumpet and shout?
Can you dance like a jellyfish,
Swish your tentacles about?
Chorus:
You're not a cheeky monkey, [monkey arms]
You're not a slimy squid, [wiggly fingers]
You're not a scary shark, [shark hand mimicking biting]
You're my little kid. [cuddle!]
Can you flap like a parrot,
Copying me?
Can you boing like a rabbit,
Hopping playfully?
Chorus
Can you gallop like a horse,
Around a race course?
Can you waddle like a penguin,
Being careful on the ice of course?
Chorus
Can you crawl like a sloth,
Slow as can be?
Can you swim like a turtle,
In the deep, blue sea?
And the last thing of all,
Can you curl up really small,
In a ball,
And be quiet as a mouse? [Shhhh!]
Chorus
