Singing Games Activity Book - Little Rabbit Foo Foo


Music Resource Description
The "Little Rabbit Foo Foo" activity from the Singing Games Activity Book is a lively and engaging song for children to enjoy while learning about rhythm and actions. The game involves the children sitting in a circle with a leader, who plays the role of the Good Fairy. As the song is sung, the children perform a series of actions that correspond to the lyrics. For instance, when singing 'Little rabbit Foo Foo', they place their fingers on their heads to mimic rabbit ears, and for 'Running through the green grass', they make a running motion with their fingers. The song continues with actions for 'Scooping up the mushrooms' and 'And mashing them up for tea', which involve a scooping motion and a mashing gesture, respectively.
As the song progresses, the Good Fairy gives the children warnings, indicating that they must behave well, or they will be turned into stone. With each repetition of the song, the children are given fewer chances, starting from three and counting down to none. If the children do not behave as well-behaved little rabbits, the Good Fairy 'turns them into stone', which means the children must put their heads down and remain motionless until they are tapped with the Good Fairy's 'magic wand'. This playful activity not only teaches musical concepts but also incorporates elements of storytelling and physical coordination.
