Our silly song about "ants in your pants" will definitely put a smile and a laugh on everyone's' faces! Children love
to move their feet and arms by dancing, jumping and marching. Clapping,
tapping and bouncing to rhythms allows children to also hear syllables
and improves motor skills, as well as connect words with movements.
Reading together is an important activity to do too because as children hear and see the words, they develop essential early literacy skills. Make sure you check out the books in our list below for stories about silly kids and dogs.
There Are Ants in My Pants Song (sung to the tune of The Farmer in the Dell)
There are ants in my pants!
There are ants in my pants!
Oh no, what should I do?
There are ants in my pants!
Perhaps I should dance
Perhaps I should dance
That is what I should do
Perhaps I should dance.
There are ants in my pants!
There are ants in my pants!
Oh no, what should I do?
There are ants in my pants!
Perhaps I should jump
Perhaps I should jump
That is what I should do
Perhaps I should jump.
Repeat the song using other motions such as twisting, marching or stretching.
