Activity: We're Going on a Bug Hunt

This past Friday, I shared some colorful and sparkly bugs for the Flannel Friday Round-up. I used them for several activities and songs during my Family Storytime on Thursday night and the little ones really loved them.

Here is one of the fun activities we did with them:

We're Going on a Bug Hunt!

Chorus:

We're going on a bug hunt!

We're going to catch a big one!

What a sunny day!

Are you ready? 

Okay!

Verses:

Oh, my! A ladybug!

A red and black ladybug

Crawling on a leaf.

Crawl, crawl, crawl!

Repeat chorus.

Oh, my! A firefly!

A brown and yellow firefly

Flickering in the sky.

Flicker, flicker, flicker! 

Repeat chorus.

Oh, my! A bumblebee!

A black and yellow bumblebee

Buzzing through the air.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Repeat chorus.

Oh, my! A grasshopper! 

A big, green grasshopper

Hopping through the grass.

Hop, hop, hop!

Repeat chorus.

Oh, my! A dragonfly!

A shimmery, purple dragonfly

Darting across the sky.

Dart, dart, dart!

Repeat chorus.

Oh, my! A butterfly!

A beautiful, orange butterfly

Fluttering through the air.

Flutter, flutter, flutter!

Repeat chorus.

Oh, my! A spider!

A huge, black spider

Spinning on its web!

Spin, spin, spin!

I think it is time to go home now!

Bye, huge, black spider!

Bye, beautiful, orange butterfly!

Bye, shimmery, purple dragonfly!

Bye, big, green grasshopper!

Bye, black and yellow bumblebee!

Bye, brown and yellow firefly!

Bye, red and black ladybug!

See you on our next bug hunt!
