Hey there! Let’s go on a fun adventure with some friendly animals. We are going to sing a song called “Pop! Goes the Weasel.” Are you ready? Let’s start!
Once upon a time, a monkey was playing around a big, round mulberry bush. He was chasing a little weasel. The monkey stopped to pick up his hat, and then… Pop! Goes the weasel!
Next, a happy doggie joined the fun. He chased the weasel around the mulberry bush. The doggie wagged his tail, and then… Pop! Goes the weasel!
Then, a cute kitty came along. She chased the weasel too! The kitty stopped to lick her fur, and then… Pop! Goes the weasel!
A bouncy froggy wanted to play. He chased the weasel around the bush. The froggy stopped to catch a fly, and then… Pop! Goes the weasel!
Here comes a fluffy bunny! He chased the weasel and then stopped to wiggle his ears. And then… Pop! Goes the weasel!
Finally, a sneaky lizard joined the chase. She rolled her eyes, and then… Pop! Goes the weasel!
Isn’t it fun to sing and imagine all these animals playing together? You can try making your own verses with different animals and actions. Maybe a bird flapping its wings or a fish blowing bubbles! Use your imagination and have fun!
In the song, we hear about pennies for a spool of thread and a needle. Let’s count some pennies together! One penny, two pennies, three pennies… Counting is fun, and you can practice with your toys or coins at home!
Remember, you can sing “Pop! Goes the Weasel” anytime you want. It’s a great way to have fun and learn with your friends and family. Keep singing, playing, and using your imagination!
Animal Action Game: Gather a group of friends or family members and play an animal action game inspired by the song. Each person can choose an animal from the story, like the monkey, doggie, or kitty, and act out what that animal does before saying “Pop! Goes the Weasel!” For example, if you choose the froggy, you can hop around and pretend to catch a fly. This will help you remember the animals and their actions while having lots of fun!
Create Your Own Verse: Use your imagination to create a new verse for the song. Think of a new animal and what action it might do. Maybe a bird flapping its wings or a fish blowing bubbles! Draw a picture of your animal and write down your new verse. Share it with your friends or family and sing it together. This activity will help you practice creativity and storytelling.
Penny Counting Adventure: Gather some pennies or small coins and practice counting them just like in the song. You can pretend you are buying a spool of thread or a needle. Try to count up to ten pennies and see if you can make different combinations to reach the same total. This will help you improve your counting skills and understand the value of money.
