More Frogs - Gang Goo Went the Little Green Frog

Every day before sleep time we sing the same song. It is called Gang Goo when the little green frog! The kids never get tired of it and despite the fact we have sung it daily for months and months now they still demand it before they go to their beds. It is an action song with lots of big body movements. We sing the song three times each day at different speeds. We do normal, fast and then slow. The song doesn’t really make any sense and the actions are kind of made up but they love it and it lets them get some energy out before they sleep.

I can write down the words for this but the actions are a little hard to explain . . . I will do my best!
