Jungle theme activities

Jungle animals are just so great to link to so many different activities whether it be art and craft or music as well as many more.

I made a simple jungle animal book for the children to look through using Sparklebox resources and printed off some of the animal masks they have for the children to wear for the song below.

The Jungle Hokey Pokey

A great action song for children

(To the tune of the Hokey cokey)

You put your Elephant trunk in,

You put your Elephant trunk out,

You put your Elephant trunk in,

And you shake it all about.

You do the Hokey - Pokey

And you turn yourself around.

That's what it's all about.

You put your Monkey hand in,

You put your Monkey hand out,

You put your Monkey hand in,

And you shake it all about.

You do the Hokey - Pokey

And you turn yourself around.

That's what it's all about.

You put your Giraffe neck in,

You put your Giraffe neck out,

You put your GIraffe neck in,

And you shake it all about.

You do the Hokey - Pokey

And you turn yourself around.

That's what it's all about.
