One green frog went hop, hop, hop

One Green Frog Went Hop, Hop, Hop


Words are by: Deborah J. Stewart
Tune: Buffalo Gals

This little song about frogs can be used to practice counting and is great fun as a game or a fingerplay.

Game: At the start of each new verse, pick a child to stand up and hop. Keep singing the tune and adding children until all the children are hopping. At then end, have all the children sit down on the floor and pretend to take a nap.

Fingerplay: Cut out five green frogs from felt. As you sing or say each verse, place a frog on the flannel board. Have the children help you count the frogs by holding up each finger and bouncing their fingers up and down. At then end, have all the children fold their hands and pretend to take a nap.

Verses:

One green frog went hop, hop, hop
Hop, hop, hop
Hop, hop, hop

One green frog went
Hop, hop, hop
Hopping on a lili pad.




Two green frogs went hop, hop, hop
Hop, hop, hop
Hop, hop, hop

Two green frogs went
Hop, hop, hop
Hopping on a lili pad.


Three green frogs went hop, hop, hop
Hop, hop, hop
Hop, hop, hop

Three green frogs went
Hop, hop, hop
Hopping on a lili pad.




Four green frogs went hop, hop, hop
Hop, hop, hop
Hop, hop, hop

Four green frogs went
Hop, hop, hop
Hopping on a lili pad.








Mother frog said
Stop, stop, stop
Stop, stop, stop
Stop, stop, stop.

Mother frog said
Stop, stop, stop,
It’s time to take a nap!



Wake up froggies!
