Tree Animals Song

A super silly share that invites kiddos into active participation by naming animals, making sounds, and showing movement. The song helps kiddos experience trees as living habitats by centering the animals that depend on them.

The chorus opens with a long "ooooooh" that the group sings until everyone joins, re-establishing shared focus after each verse. The zipper verses leave space for kiddos to identify an animal, make its sound, and demonstrate its movement: owl, monkey, frog, sloth, snake, or whatever the group dreams up.
