The song for sleepy bunnies starts with everyone on the floor pretending to sleep; as the bunnies wake up, everyone jumps up and hops around. You can also clap your hands as you jump and encourage your child to join in with the clapping. Lyrics

See the little bunnies sleeping, sleeping till it’s noon,

Shall we go and wake them with a merry tune? Oh, how still, are they ill?

Wake up soon... ...wake up little bunnies!

Jump little bunnies jump jump jump, jump jump jump, jump jump jump
