Arabic ‘Hop Like A Bunny’ Nursery Rhyme {Resource}

I love to use the nursery rhyme “Hop Like A Bunny” when I do Arabic story time at the public library.

It is very short and sweet, mimicking the actions of four animals, a bunny rabbit, a kitty cat, a bear and a duck.

While the kids and I are singing the song, we hop like the bunny, quietly walk like a kitty, make ourselves big like a bear and raise our arms up and down to fly like a duck.

The song is repeated five times and can be found on one of my favorite music CDs or check out just the song alone.

There is how it is sung in Arabic.

 Nott methil al arnab
 Nott nott nott
 Imshi shoai shoai
 Methil al ott
 Irfaa halak aali
 Methil al dob
 Kher aali aali
 Methil al batt 

Hop like a bunny
 Hop hop hop
 Walk softly softly
 Like a cat
 Rise big & tall
 Like a bear
 Fly higher higher
 Like a duck
