You can then either ask the children to suggest other animals to sing about (and make up new verses accordingly) or you can sing the following verses about animals from ‘Peppa Pig’ the television show.
See the elephants sleeping... Stomp little elephants... See the ponies sleeping... Gallop little ponies...
See the kangaroos sleeping... Bounce little kangaroos...
NB: If you need to perform the actions to encourage the children to join in then please do so. Otherwise, you should clap along as you sing the chorus to help maintain energy.
9. PARACHUTE ACTIVITY WITH HIDING: ‘George is Hiding’ (sung to the traditional tune of ‘Someone is Hiding’)
“I love to play Hide and Seek with my little brother George! So let’s play Hide and seek with the parachute!” The children sit around the imaginary parachute and move it from side to side to the pulse for the first two lines. For each, “Peek-a-boo!” the children quickly lift the imaginary parachute up high into the air and then down again on “I see you!” Repeat the song with the real parachute. Next choose two or three children (including the birthday child) pretend to be George and curl up and hide underneath the parachute. Repeat the song and for each, “Peek-a-boo!” you reveal the hidden children. Repeat until every child has had a turn. Once the game has been played a few times, encourage the children to sing the words with you. If you have a party assistant or if there is a willing parent nearby, ask them to hold the opposite end of the parachute and encourage the children to all go under together as you sing the song one final time.
George is hiding, is hiding, is hiding. George is hiding. Where could he be? Peek-a-boo! I see you!
Peek-a-boo! I see you!
NB: If there are only a few children and there is plenty of time, the children can go underneath individually (rather than in groups) so as to be ‘George’ by themselves.
10. CHASING GAME: ‘Catch the Peppa Pigs!’ (sung to the traditional tune of ‘Tiny Tim’)
If you are good at accents, put on a French accent as you run this activity. “And now I’m going to teach you how to be just like Peppa Pig. I am Madame Gazelle the teacher and you are my students. Follow me.” Sing the song acapella and perform the actions as indicated by the lyrics.
“To be just like Peppa, you must enjoy dressing up.”
Peppa Pig is dressing up, Peppa Pig is dressing up, Peppa Pig is dressing up, at her playgroup class.
“To be just like Peppa, you must eat lots of ice cream!”
Peppa Pig is eating...
“To be just like Peppa, you must enjoy splashing in puddles!”
Peppa Pig is jumping... Peppa Pig is sleeping... Peppa Pig is waking...
“Now I’m going to chase you and see how many students I can catch!” Chase the children as you sing the final verse.
Madame Gazelle is chasing...
