Jelly Beans in My Tummy Sung to "Skip to My Lou"

Red jelly beans yum, yum, yum

Red jelly beans yum, yum, yum

Red jelly beans yum, yum, yum

Jelly beans in my tum, tum, tum

Teaching Ideas:

1. Change the color of the jelly bean having your studnets idenify the color.  Use real jelly beans or ones cut out of construction or foam.  I have included the visual aids I use below

2. Use the flavor to sing about the jelly bean.  Strawberry jelly beans yum, yum, yum

See the Easter Bunny Sung to "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush"

See how the bunny hops along, hops along, hops along

See how the bunny hops along On a Easter morning

This is the way he wiggles his nose

This is the way he flops his ears

This is the way he jiggles his tail

This is the way he eats his carrot

Hippity Hoppity “Sung to Shortening Bread”

Here comes a bunny, hip-hop-hop

See how his long ears, flip-flop-flop

See how his nose goes, Twink-twink-twink

See how his eyes go wink-wink-wink

Hippity Hoppity Easter Bunny Hippity Hoppity Flip Flop Flop

Hippity Hoppity Easter Bunny Hippity Hoppity Flip Flop Flop

Funny little bunny goes, hop, hop, hop

Funny little bunny, please stop, stop, stop

Wiggle your ears and crinkle your nose

Then wiggle, wiggle, wiggle right down to your toes.

Hippity Hoppity Easter Bunny Hippity Hoppity Flip Flop Flop

Hippity Hoppity Easter Bunny Hippity Hoppity Flip Flop Flop

Hop, little rabbit, hop, hop, hop

Hop little rabbit, flip, flop, flop

Hop, little rabbit one, two, three

Hop little rabbit, hop to me

Hippity Hoppity Easter Bunny Hippity Hoppity Flip Flop Flop

Hippity Hoppity Easter Bunny Hippity Hoppity Flip Flop Flop

Teaching Ideas:

1. Act this out and have fun with it.  Do a conga line and hop around the room.

Can you find the Easter Egg? Sung to "Mary had a little lamb"

Can you find the Easter Egg

Easter egg, Easter egg

Can you find the Easter Egg

The bunny hid today

Look up and down and all around

All around, all around

Look up and down and all around

For the Easter Egg

Teaching Idea

1. Have a student(s) look for the Easter eggs you have hidden around the room.

2. Have the student identify the color of the egg or a concept that you have placed in the egg.  You could put letters, numbers, addition problems, etc. . . in the egg for the students to find.
