The Bunny Game

Outline:

(WARNING: highly annoying when sung by large groups of children).  You demonstrate the bunny rhyme and actions and ask the children to copy exactly what you do. They try and try and it takes ages for them to do it right.  It goes: hold up left hand, palm facing in and starting with your little finger, touch the top of each finger with the other hand and say bunny each time. When you get to your index finger its ‘whoops’ in a sliding fashion to your thumb, where its bunny again and the same all the way back. Bunny bunny bunny bunny whoops bunny whoops bunny bunny bunny bunny. Kids will copy and get that all right after a while. You still tell them it’s wrong. (The trick is to scratch your nose at the end of it.) The kids don’t have it right till they eventually cop onto the nose scratch. Takes ages and is very shrill.
