Sleeping Bunnies
Preparation time: Sleeping bunnies need a burrow and some hopping room, so take a few minutes to clear some floor space!
Clean-up time: None!
Game Duration: As long as you like, but generally between 5 and 15 minutes.
What you will need: This game can be played on the spur of the moment with no props, or you can decide to create some simple and fun costumes (some ideas in our dress-up games section, and ourcrafts section).
How to Play:
Say the following rhyme, or sing it to a made up tune!
 |
"See the sleeping bunnies until it's nearly noon, |
Tips:
- Try pretending to be different animals to explore different movements! A giraffe walks moving both right limbs and then both left limbs! A frog hops differently from a bunny! Butterfly and bird both have wings but flap in a different way!
- Add props and simple costumes to extend the fun for an older toddler.
- Use the game to transition from one activity to another. Ten seconds of peace while your active toddler is "sleeping", can help you hop right into the next thing!
