Have children lay down & “sleep” during the lyrics “In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight.” Then the “Wimoweh” section will be fast & upbeat for the children to dance to! Then they will have to follow the music for cues for sleeping or dancing. I’ve used the puppets with well-known songs like “Down on Grandpa’s Farm” & “Old McDonald.” I’ve also used it with a song I learned from a MT graduate class called “Let’s Sing a Song About a Horse, Horse, Horse.” Laurie Berkner also has a cute song called “Farm Song” that could work with some of the animals! Also, “When Ducks Get Up in the Morning (they always say good day)” – that one would be really cute!Īlso, Laurie Berkner has a version of “Wimoweh” on one of her CDs that gave me an idea for a movement song.

Mine were purchased from the dollar store, but I’ve recently seen some in the $1 section at Michael’s. I have very similar animal puppets – in fact, I’m pretty sure I have the same alligator. So cute, Rachel! I always look forward to your blog posts – you are so creative.

I can get away with a gratuitous picture of my dog because this post is animal-related, right? Ha! I’m curious: how do you get musical with puppets and animals? I’m looking for more ways to incorporate them, just because they are always such a hit.

My students get such a kick out of making their puppet “sing” when it’s his or her turn during the song…but probably not as the kick my pup Sadie got out of Mr. Here’s my animal puppet version of “In the Jungle” - which can easily be adapted to include any puppets or stuffed animals you have lying around! That’s when I got the idea to combine all of those different environments into 1 song, using one of my personal favorites as a template. See what I mean when I said eclectic? They all live in different environments, so I couldn’t do a “forest” or “jungle” song…or could I? Here they are in their little drawer: a lamb, parrot, rabbit, bear, mouse, and alligator.

#WIMOWEH MEME MOVIE#
It became a hit for The Tokens in the 1960's and was featured in the The Lion King movie and musical. (I owe my family members big time for helping me grow my music therapy instrument and prop collection when I first started my career!) They are quite an eclectic bunch (the puppets, not my family members) and don’t have a whole lot in common, so I’ve struggled in the past with coming up for good uses with them. Wimoweh This world-renowned song was written by South African songwriter Solomon Linda and was brought to the United States by The Weavers in the 1950's. Alligator here is part of a set of animal puppets I received as a Christmas present a few years ago. Lions are listed as vulnerable to extinction by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, which determines the conservation status of species.Mr. If you have some thoughts or comments about that I'd love to hear them. Therefore in my mind lion meme = Christian meme. And since lions carry some Christian symbolism with them I automatically interpreted every lion meme I saw as posted by a Christian. Secondly, because of the symbiotic relationship between the political right and Christianity, and the anti-vax messaging that comes from the political right, I was left with the impression that strongly religious Christians are among the groups that are the most vaccine hesitant. For one, the Jesus = lion motif has a long history. So there are a couple of reasons why I always equated lion memes with Christianity. Maybe it is the case that Christians are more drawn to posting lion memes. Therefore lion memes fall into two sub categories, overtly Christian ones with attached bible verses, and superiority complex ones.Īlthough there are only a couple of overtly Christian memes in this group of 20 images, 16 of them do mention prayer / prayer warriors. People who post those kind of memes see themselves as a higher class, more enlightened, stronger, etc. Some lion memes are just meant to express superiority. I just viewed lions as a symbol for Christianity. I did this instinctively without much consideration.

Pic 1Ī while ago when I was categorizing memes, I lumped lion memes into the Christian memes group.
