Frog Song?


Recommended Posts

One of our children came in today with bits of a new song she has learned on her school visit ( not our local school, otherwise I'd ask the teacher about it!)..............she kept asking us to sing the song, but all she could recall is that the frog sings 'la de da de daaa' in it!!! Not much help, but does anyone have ANY idea what this could be?? she's so enchanting when she sings it.............and she COULD be making it up, but she's insistent that the teacher sang it to her and she's astonished that I don't know it!

 

And no, it's not five little speckled frogs, tried that!!

Da -Glumpf went the little Green frog one day

Da- Glumpf went the little Green frog

Da -Glumpf went the little Green frog one day

And the frog went Glumpf Glumpf Glumpf

 

But we all know frogs go "La de da de da"

"La de da de da"

"La de da de da"

We all know frogs go "La de da de da"

They don't go glumpf glumpf glumpf.

I know it, but with eyes closed on the da, tongue out for the glumpf

and instead of glumpf glumpf glumpf we do eyes closed, tongue out, hands in the air and say aaaaah,

 

The da and glumpf bits with the eyes and tongue are sung with an mmmm sound in the version I know

 

 

Hope thats successfully confused everyone!!

and we had a version too... children always loved it.. I always did a bit before the but we know frogs.. ..

 

by doing a shhhh making it like a really big secret only we knew..

 

parents loved it too..but always had to come and ask what their child was singing as it never made any sense.. like Narnia they all thought the child was making it up!

 

 

probably another of those we all know the basic song but have regional variations.. I learnt mine from a scout group.. and some of the other verses I would not sing with the children.. things like squish on the motorway!

Brilliant - I'd forgotten this one. I had a fabulous male trainee teacher with me about three years ago and he sang this song with the children - the children loved the song (and him!) We found a frog today in our outdoor area so guess what we'll be singing tomorrow.
