Easter Songs

Bunny Pokey
Sung to: "Hokey Pokey"

You put your bunny ears in
(Place hands on head to make ears)
You put your bunny ears out.
You put your bunny ears in.
And you shake them all about.
You do the Bunny Pokey
And hop yourself around,
That's what it's all about!

Additional verses: "You put your bunny nose in, You put your bunny tail in, You put your bunny paws in"

See the Easter Bunny
Sung to: "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush"

See how the bunny hops along, hops along, hops along.
See how the bunny hops along, (children crouch and hop)
On an Easter morning.
This is the way he wiggles his nose, wiggles his nose,
Wiggles his nose (children wiggle nose)
This is the way he wiggles his nose,
On an Easter morning.
This is the way he flops his ears..................etc..
On an Easter morning.
See how he jiggles his cotton tail, cotton tail........
(put one hand behind and wiggle it )
On an Easter morning.

Easter Eggs

Five little Easter eggs, lovely colors wore,
Mother ate the blue one, then there were four.

Four little Easter eggs, two and two you see,
Daddy ate the red one, then there were three.

Three little Easter eggs, before I knew,
Sister ate the yellow one, then there were two.

Two little Easter eggs, oh what fun,
Brother ate the purple one, then there was one.

One little Easter egg, see me run,
I ate the green one, then there were none.
