Movements !

There was a little turle, who lived in a box
He swan in the puddles and he climbed on the rocks
He snapped at a mosquito
He snapped at a flea
He snapped at a minnow and he snapped at me
He caught the mosquito, he caught the flea
He caught the minnow, but he didn't catch me !

Movements

There was a little turle, who lived in a box - Your fist is the turtle
He swan in the puddles and he climbed on the rocks - Stick your other arm out to represent the shore - Your turle-fist climbs out of the water on to a rock on the shore
He snapped at a mosquito - Your turle-fist opens like a mouth and snaps during these next few lines
He snapped at a flea
He snapped at a minnow and he snapped at me
He caught the mosquito, he caught the flea
He caught the minnow, but he didn't catch me ! - When you sing 'he didn't catch me' you wiggle your finger up and down mimicking the 'naughty-naughty' finger sign
