Jumping! It is more a bounce but gosh they love to do it and they practice with such diligence :-)
One of the games I am playing with them at the moment to help them jump but also to help them listen to instructions is 'Hop Little Bunny'
The premise is they lay down on the ground and pretend they are sleeping while I sing...
See the little bunnies sleeping till it’s nearly noon
Come and let us gently wake them with a merry tune
Oh how still, are they ill, wake up soon
Then we start with a great gusto in waking up to ...
Hop little bunnies, hop, hop, hop
Hop little bunnies, hop, hop, hop
Hop little bunnies, hop, hop, hopHop little bunnies, hop, hop, hop
There are other actions to this song such as birds and alligators but we currently just do bunny however all the words can be found at Bus Songs.
And believe me this is also great exercise for the little ones another added bonus.
What are some of your favorite action songs to do with your children. We would love to hear!
Happy Play Times :-)
