Gonna Hop Hop Hop

Thursday was a great day for a picnic. I took the tent outside, and the kids played with it for awhile... Then, at lunch time, I surprised them with a picnic. Since we spent a lot of time outside, I thought it would be a great time to learn about grasshoppers and the letter G, so that was the lesson for the day (with activities, of course). In fact, I have some DVDs listed on Ebay right now that I, also, use with the kids. They have great stories like The Tortoise and the Hare, The Boy Who Cried Wolf, etc... It has songs for them to sing and dance to, and one of the songs fit the lesson perfectly... It goes like this:

Gonna Hop Hop Hop
Till I Drop Drop Drop
Gonna Hop Hop Hop
I'm Never Gonna Stop
Gonna Hop Hop Hop
Till I Drop
Hop ONE Time
Hop TWO Times
Hop THREE Times
Gonna Hop Hop Hop
Till I Drop...

Then, you start the song over again, and have them hop 4, 5, and 6 times (etc)
When the kids hear this song start, they go CRAZY!!!! So, they all hopped like grasshoppers.
