Old Mister Rabbit

Lyrics

Old Mister Rabbit, you’ve got a mighty habit
Of jumping in the garden and eating all my cabbage.

With younger students, teach the song and “hop” with your fingers on your other arm to the beat. Later, feel free to add hopping or jumping. 🙂 Try to also add the tambourine part by clapping.
