This song is also available on Jack Hartmann's album Shake, Rattle n' Read.
Focus: Alliterations Develop Awareness of Beginning Sounds
Activity – Children can follow children on the recording and have fun acting out some of the movement; pig rolls and plays, lizard leaps, snails slide, worm wiggles, caterpillar crawls, diving dolphin. Ask the children; what’s the same in most of the sentences of words (i.e. pink, pig, plays, pen; they all start with the letter p).
Chorus
Clap your hands to the beat
Sing these tongue twisters with me
Pink pig plays in his pen
Pink pig plays in his pen
Plays, plays in his pen
Plays, plays in his pen
Little lizard leaps by the lake
Little lizard leaps by the lake
Leaps, leaps by the lake
Leaps, leaps by the lake
Slithery snails slide so slow
Slithery snails slide so slow
Slide, slide, slide so slow
Slide, slide, slide so slow
Repeat chorus
Wiggly worm wiggles in the water
Wiggly worm wiggles in the
water
Wiggles, wiggles, wiggles in the water
Wiggles, wiggles, wiggles
in the water
Creeping caterpillar crawls by the creek
Creeping caterpillar
crawls by the creek
Crawls, crawls by the creek
Crawls, crawls by the creek
Diving dolphin dives so deep
Diving dolphin dives so deep
Dives, dives, dives so deep
Dives, dives, dives so deep
Repeat Chorus
