(sung to the tune: "London Bridge)

I went to the jungle one day, jungle one day, jungle one day. 
I saw a lion on the way and this is what he said, "ROAR"!

Keep adding other jungle animals and their sounds!

Down In The Jungle (chant)

Begin by having children slap their hands on their knees and then clap them together to set the rhythm of the chant.

Down in the jungle With the beat in your feet, Think of an animal That you'd like to meet. That you'd like to meet ________! (Call out a child's name and have them name a jungle animal)

A (Monkey), A (Monkey) She wants to see a (Monkey)!

Then have all of the children imitate a monkey. Keep repeating and naming different animals for the children to imitate and don't forget the growls, screeches, and roars! This is also great for large motor indoors on rainy days. I change it to Down on the Farm when we do our Farm theme.

Jungle Song I'm A Lion Sung to tune of Three Blind Mice 

I'm a lion, I'm a lion
  Hear me roar, hear me roar 
I love to sleep out in the sun 
And chase other animals just for fun 
In all the jungle I'm Number One, I'm a lion!
