Dance and Movement Tips
· As the song begins children march slowly to the beat of the turtle talk.When the
tempo shifts, children can jump in place like bouncing bunnies.
· During the song children can form the sign for "turtle" and bounce it in time to the
turtle music. Switch to the sign for "rabbit" and speed up the bounce!

Lyrics:

Turtle talk, turtle talk
Smooth and steady turtle talk
No need to run it's fun to walk
Smooth and steady turtle talk

Bouncing bunny, bouncing bunny
Rapid rabbit running really fast
When they tell me to slow down
I give it the gas

I'm never very careful
So I always end up last
Bouncing bunny, bouncing bunny
Rapid rabbit running really fast

Turtle talk, turtle talk
Smooth and steady turtle talk
No bumps, no worries, no need to hurry
Smooth and steady turtle talk
