Little Bunny Foo Foo

Equipment: Bands, spoons, eggs or small balls

Warm up 5 minutes and stretch

Exercise 1

Jog/skip around room singing the Little Bunny Foo Foo Song (Lyrics below if you forgot)

When you say the word:

Bunny or Bopping do 10 SQUATS

Fairy do 10 LUNGES

Gooon do 10 JUMP AND SWITCH LUNGES

Lyrics and Hand Gestures:

Little Bunny Foo Foo [hold up two fingers, like a V-for-Victory, facing left]
Hopping through the forest [bounce hand right-to-left across front of your body]
Picking up the field mice [left hand upright fist, right hand scoop-and-grab across top of fist]
And bopping 'em on the head! [left hand upright fist, right hand flat, bop top of fist]

Dowwwwwwn came the Good Fairy, [both hands, fingers wiggling, from high to low, like rain]
And she said:
Little Bunny Foo Foo [shake index finger in reproach]
I don't wanna see you
Picking up the field mice [repeat gestures from earlier]
And bopping 'em on the head!
I'm [point at self] going to give you [point at observer] three chances [hold up three fingers]
And if you don't obey me
I'm going to turn you into a gooooooooooon! [rain gesture as above]

[But Little Bunny Foo Foo continues to transgress. Repeat the full sequence from the start, but this time the fairy gives two chances. Then repeat again with the fairy giving only one chance. Finally, repeat again, ending with this:]

Little Bunny Foo Foo
I didn't want to see you
Picking up the field mice
And bopping 'em on the head!
I gave you three chances
And since you didn't obey me
I'm going to turn you into a gooooooooooon!

And she did.

Moral: Hare today, goon tomorrow.

Exercise 2

Stand on one foot near a chair or wall for 2 minutes. Switch sides; as this becomes less challenging increase time up to 5 minutes each foot, take shoes off, or stand on a pillow or couch cushion for more of a challenge.

Exercise 3

Partner up, each team has a spoon and a small ball in it

First partner holds spoon and ball and runs a suicide or lines trying not to drop the ball. If the ball drops before he/she gets back to the start he/she has to start over again. Hand off spoon and ball to partner same rule applies to the partner about dropping the ball, but only the second partner would have to start over again. First team to finish wins. This should be running not walking!

Drop spoons and balls and complete one more suicide/lines. This should be all out running/sprinting!

ABS

2 sets of 10 Partner abs/throw downs. Down to the side, middle, side equals one rep. Can grab a couch leg or heavy object if alone and bring legs up and down as if you had a partner.

Stretch
