This isn’t really musical but I thought it was so cute…you could pass it along to your Nursery Leaders for them to do at other times in nursery:
With children sitting on their chairs you tell them:
- It’s a beautiful day so let’s go on a lion hunt [tap hands on top of knees – representing walking].
- Oh, look, there’s some tall grass – let’s go through it [arms are moving like pushing tall grass to the sides in order to go through it].
- [continue walking]
- There’s a fence [point with one hand while shading eyes with the other]!
- Let’s climb over it [pretend to climb and jump over a fence with arms and hands].
- [continue walking]
- I’m so hot – [wipe brow]
- Oh, look, there’s a lake. [point with one hand while shading eyes with the other]!
- Let’s swim to the other side [swim with arms].
- Wasn’t that great? [extend arms out like you are asking a question]
- I feel cooler now. [continue walking]
- Look! There’s a tree! [point with one hand while shading eyes with the other]!
- Let’s go climb it [pretend to climb a tree]
- [look around] Oh look!
- There’s a mountain over there [point with one hand while shading eyes with the other]!
- I see a cave up there. Let’s go see what is in the cave [continue walking and then pretend to be hiking up the mountain using your arms and hands].
- Whew, here’s the cave [start to speak in hushed tones or quietly].
- Let’s go inside and see what’s in here. Oh, it’s dark in here! [put thumbs and index fingers in a circle and place around the eyes].
- Oh, I see 2 eyes! Oh, I see 4 eyes [move the circled fingers to forehead as if removing the binoculars]
- LET’S GET OUF OT HERE! [tap hands on top of knees quickly – representing running!].
- Let’s hike down the mountain [climb down the mountain]
- [continue running] Climb down the tree.
- [continue running] Swim across the lake [swim with arms]
- [continue running] Jump over the fence [climb and jump over fence]
- [continue running] Go through the tall grass [arms are moving like pushing tall grass to the sides in order to go through it].
- [Slow hands down to a stop]. Oh, we made it home safely – are we all here? [count off or name each child].
- Yep! Thank goodness we all made it back. Wasn’t that fun!!
