Bounce-Bunny
MOVE THEN STOP
Bounce-Bunny Jumps and Stops
In Wiggle Meadow lives Bounce-Bunny, a soft little bunny with big springy feet. When the grown-up says GO, Bounce-Bunny jumps up high — boing, boing, boing!
Can YOU jump like Bounce-Bunny? Up… up… UP! Big happy bounces!
And now — here comes the tricky, wonderful part. When the grown-up says FREEZE… Bounce-Bunny lands soft and holds very, very still. No more bouncing. Just a quiet little bunny.
Can you FREEZE like Bounce-Bunny? Stop your feet. Still your hands. Be as still as can be. You did it!
Say it with a grown-up: “Jump like Bunny, up you go — then be still, nice and slow.”
Jumping is fun, and stopping is strong. Bounce-Bunny loves both — the big bounce, and the big calm freeze. Let’s play again: GO… jump, jump, jump… and FREEZE!
Reading together with a grown-up? A card for the grown-up
For the grown-up: ask one question, then wait. When they answer, add one word to what they said. Tap the button when they have said something — that is one turn each, a circle. Nothing is recorded or kept.
Let them finish it
Say “Jump like Bunny, up you go — then …” and stop. Let them finish it.
Now wait. Count slowly to five in your head. Their answer is worth the quiet.
