when we play hard
our energy flow
can go from super-duper high
to super-duper low
running and jumping
like a kangaroo
we might feel a little tired
and not know what to do
we can stop
for a break
here’s what we call
this time of the day
turtle time
turtle time
slow down
and take some
turtle time
turtle time
turtle time
we all can use a little
turtle time
read a favorite book
or take a cat-nap
draw a silly picture
of a dog with a hat
listen to a song
or sit and daydream
about living in a castle
made of fluffy whipped cream
our imaginations
can be our guide
turtle time is great
hey let’s give it a try
Chorus
try it on a monday
at the start of the week
then tuesday, wednesday, thursday
see what you think
friday and saturday
could also be fun
suddenly its sunday
and the week is all done
not just for kids
grownups need it too
when they want to rest
they can turtle time with you
Chorus X2
