Kids LOVE to FREEZE on the spot!! Here's a song that gets them going, then asks them to STOP! You'll love the silence....Jump like a weta, swim like a slippery tuna, hop like a rapeti and fly like a Kereru....New Zealand creatures.
Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop around
Like a bunny rabbit, like a rapeti
Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop around
Like a bunny rabbit, like a rapeti does
And now STOP!
CHORUS
Walk like a human
Buzz like a bumble bee
Flit like a dragonfly
Stand tall and straight like a Kauri tree
Don’t bend your knee
Swim, swim, swim, swim, swim around
Like a slippery eel, like a tuna
Swim, swim, swim, swim, swim around
Like a slippery eel, like a tuna does
And now STOP!
Fly, fly, fly, fly, fly around
Like a Kereru, like a Kereru
Fly, fly, fly, fly, fly around
Like a Kereru, like a Kereru does
And now STOP!
CHORUS
Jump, jump, jump like a weta does
Hop, hop, hop like bunny rabbits do
Swim, swim, swim like a slippery eel
And fly like a Kereru
Slowing down…………
And now STOP!!
