We’re moving (jumping, skipping, sliding) around the circle today.

Can you think of a way, a way you can say:

Put it in words and let it be heard,

And we’ll all move around the circle your way.

Birds in the circles stand on the other foot.

Bunnies in the circles hop on one foot.

Bunnies in the circles hop on the other foot.

Kittens in the circle sound asleep.

Frogs in the circles jump outside.

Frogs outside jump back in.

Ponies in the circles leap over the edge.

Ponies outside gallop around

Monkeys in the circles jump and turn,

Monkeys in the circles jump and scratch.
