The Wolf Cub Song

from Animal songs by Margie La Bella

/

about

Benefits: Children vocalize the “ooh” sound of the wolf.
Children act out the lyrics, and demonstrate an understanding of the concepts involved; open, shake, over, under, up, down, side, and families. The children attend well to the idea that the fox is lost and scared. They are relieved when her family is reunited. It’s a natural opportunity to talk about families, safety, worries and comforts.

lyrics

Motions:
The wolf cub wakes up and he opens his eyes. Start by pretending to sleep and wake.

He gives a yawn and a shake. Give a good stretch and shake awake.

He looks up at the sun and the snow falling down Point up to the sun and motion like a
fluttery snow flake.
and he follows a little snow flake.


(Chorus) Singing Oooooo ooooh, Oooooo oooooh, Oooo ooooo oooooooh

He walks over a bridge and under the trees. Hold one arm out horizontally in front of you. Walk the other hand on the “bridge.” Then, hold one arm up vertically with fingers spread.
Walk the other hand under the “tree.”
He climbs up a mountain so high. Motion hands up and over your head.

Then back down he slides, and he looks side to side. Sweep them down again and look side to
side.
And he said “I am lost!” and he cries. Cover eyes and pretend to cry.

(Bridge) He cries “where is my mother, my father, my brother Put hand up above the eyes
and pretend to search.
and where could my sisters all be.

I know what I’ll do. I will open my mouth. Put index finger to head.
Open mouth.
And howl out a wolf melody!” Hooooowl!

The wind it does whistle and the trees whisper “whoosh” Sway arms over head.
and the birds sing their song to the sun. Use thumb and index finger to imitate
a bird in song.
And the cub hears his mother and sisters and brother. Hold hand to ear.
A wolf howling band has begun! Get ready to hooowl!


Last howl: oooooooooooooooooh!
