“A Bunny”, a Fingerplay Rhyme

Saturday, April 15th, 2006

A Bunny is a fingerplay you can do at Easter time or throughout the year. Here are the words…

A Bunny

Once there was a bunny.
(Make a fist with your left hand and extend two fingers for ears)

And a green, green cabbage head…
(Make a fist with your right hand)

“I think I’ll have some breakfast,” the little bunny said.
(Move bunny toward cabbage head)

So he nibbled and he nibbled.
(Wiggle fingers on left hand)

Then he turned around to say,
“I think this is the time I should be hopping on my way!”
(Make hopping movements with left hand)

Enjoy saying this rhyme to your little bunnies!

“Easter Rabbits”, a Counting Rhyme

Thursday, April 13th, 2006

Here’s a fingerplay about rabbits for Easter…

Easter Rabbits

Five little Easter rabbits
(Hold up all 5 fingers )
Sitting by the door,
One hopped away,
And then there were four.
(Bend down one finger)

Refrain
Hop, hop, hop, hop,
(Clap each time you say hop)
See how they run!
Hop, hop, hop, hop,
(Clap each time you say hop)
They think it is great fun!

Four little Easter rabbits
(Hold up four fingers)
Under a tree,
One hopped away,
And then there were three.
(Bend down one finger)

Refrain

Three little Easter rabbits
(Hold up three fingers )
Looking at you,
One hopped away,
And then there were two.
(Bend down one finger )

Refrain

Two little Easter rabbits
(Hold up two fingers)
Resting in the sun,
One hopped away,
And there was one.
(Bend down one finger)

Refrain

One little Easter rabbit
(Hold up only one finger)
Left all alone,
He hopped away,
And then there were none.
(Hide hand behind your back)

Refrain

Hop, hop, hop, hop!
(Clap each time you say hop)
All gone away!
Hop, hop, hop, hop!
(Clap each time you say hop)
They’ll come back some day.

This rhyme can be used throughout the year, if you take out the word “Easter”.

But now it’s Easter time, so let’s leave it in!

Happy Easter!
