The Groundhog
Up pops the groundhog
from his hole,
Checking on the weather today.
Up pops the groundhog
from his hole,
Should he come out and play?
He's been sleeping all winter long,
far below the ground,
snug in his burrow,
quiet and warm,
never ever hearing a sound....
until....
Up pops the groundhog
from his hole,
checking on the weather today,
Up pops the groundhog
from his hole,
Should he come out and play?
Oh, Mr. Sun, can he see you?
Will there be a shadow today?
Should he take a nap for six more weeks,
or is Springtime on its way?
For an easy, fun way to add movement to this song, give the kids copies of the groundhog graphic. They can color it and cut it out. Glue it onto a craft stick. Have them use it to show how the groundhog "pops" up to check on the weather.
