  Listen to this song.

This chant, with actions and photographs, is from Hugh Hanley's One More Circle of Songs.

     You make the bunny and hole with your hands, or you can use your arms to make the bunny ears and your legs to form the hole. (See below for the fingerplay actions.)

Here is a bunny with ears so funny .
And here is a hole in the ground.
When a noise he hears, he pricks up his ears .
And jumps in the hole in the ground.
Fingerplay actions: Here is a bunny with ears so funny
And here is a hole in the ground.
When a noise he hears, he pricks up his ears
And jumps in the hole in the ground.

This chant, with actions and photographs, is from Hugh Hanley's One More Circle of Songs.

     Hugh Hanley's Circle of Songs CD/Songbook sets were developed to promote adult/child interactive singing either in pairs or small groups. Children also enjoy singing these songs by themselves. Each set contains songs and activities that are appropriate and great fun for children ages two to seven years and for adults who would like to sing with them. The songs and activities are presented slowly and simply on the recording to help participants learn the songs and to invite participation.
     Early childhood educators know that the music that speaks to the heart of the young child is presented slowly and simply. Their favorite songs are the ones that they can join in on and make their own; songs that are so simple and so much fun that even a grown-up can sing them.
