Jack in a box, Jack in a box,
I crouch so very low.
Turn the handle round and round,
And up and up I go.
Jack in a box, Jack in a box,
Turn the handle, and up I pop! (Lift baby into the air)
Version 1:
Jack in the box, Jack in the box.
Sitting so still.
Won’t you come out?
YES, I will!
Version 2:
Jack in the box, stays down in his box,
'Til somebody opens the lid!
"Surprise!" (crouch down low, then pop up on knees)
Jill in her box, stays down in her box,
'Til somebody opens the lid!
"Surprise!" (crouch down low, then pop up on knees)
Add animals in their boxes, ie Tigers who ROAR!,
Elephants who trumpet, and ask children for suggestions.
