\n(Suit actions to words.)
\nCan you hop, hop, hop like a bunny?
\nCan you run, run, run like a dog?
\nCan you walk, walk, walk like a elephant?
\nCan you jump, jump, jump like a frog?
\nCan you swim, swim, swim like a goldfish?

\nAnd not say a single word?<\/p>\n
\nRain is falling down,
\n(Raise hands up high and flutter fingers down)
\nSplash!
\n(Slap floor with gusto)
\nRain is falling down,
\n(Raise hands up high and flutter fingers down)
\nSplash!
\n(Slap the floor)
\nPitter patter, pitter patter,
\n(Quietly. Flutter fingers delicately.)
\nRain is falling down,
\n(Flutter fingers down.)
\nSplash!
\n(Slap floor with gusto)<\/p>\n
\n(Suit actions to words)
\nI clap my hands,
\nI touch my feet,
\nI jump up from the ground.
\nI clap my hands,
\nI touch my feet,
\nAnd turn myself around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
