Here is a bunny with ears so funny.

Hold up the two fingers higher
...and jumps in the hole in the ground!
Make the ears hand jump into the fist hand
Fingerplay: "Here is a Bee Hive"
Here is a bee hive.
Make a fist with one hand
But where are the bees?
Put palm of other hand up, like 'I don't know!'
They're hiding inside where nobody sees.

Watch them come out of the hive, 1-2-3-4-5
Unfold fingers of the fist hand as you count
Buzzzzzz!
Flutter hand around like a swarm of bees

Wiggle fingers of one hand in an upward direction
One flew away,

And then there were four.
Hold up four fingers
Four little ladybugs climbing up a tree
Hold up other arm and make four fingers climb
One flew away
Fly hand to behind your back
And then there were three.
Hold up three fingers
Three little ladybugs climbing up my shoe
Walk three fingers on your shoe
One flew away
Fly hand to behind your back
And then there were two.
Hold up two fingers
Two little ladybugs playing in the sun
Move two fingers in bouncing motion
One flew away
Fly hand to behind your back
And then there was one.
Hold up one finger
One little ladybug having lots of fun
Wiggle one finger
She flew away
Fly hand to behind your back
And then there were none!
Close your hand into a fist

wave hand goodbye
Goodbye, so long, and see you soon!
See you soon!
See you soon!
Goodbye, so long, and see you soon!
On a another day!
