Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, Turn Around
Kendra said, "I learned a skipping song when I was in grade school in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It's called 'Teddy Bear' and it goes like this..."
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, Turn Around
Jump Rope Rhyme
Teddy bear, teddy bear, turn around.
Teddy bear, teddy bear, touch the ground.
Teddy bear, teddy bear, tie your shoe.
Teddy bear, teddy bear, that will do.
Teddy bear, teddy bear, go upstairs.
Teddy bear, teddy bear, say your prayers.
Teddy bear, teddy bear, turn off the light.
Teddy bear, teddy bear, say goodnight!
Notes
Kendra wrote: "The child skipping would be the teddy bear, performing each action as he or she skipped. It was a lot of fun to watch your friends try to get through the rhyme without getting tangled in the rope!"
