Australian action song for ages 0-6
Little Green Frog Song
A quick, bouncy action song that gets children hopping, leaping and splashing like a green frog. It works well for high-energy movement, rainy-day play and getting the wiggles out.
Watch Little Green Frog
Press play and copy the actions together. The repeated chorus makes it easy for toddlers to join before they know every word.
What age is this song for?
Written for children aged 0-6. Babies can respond to the beat, toddlers can copy one movement at a time, and preschoolers can sing and act out the repeated chorus. It is a playful song, not a lesson or therapy programme.
When should we play it?
Try it for high-energy movement, rainy-day play and getting the wiggles out. One song lasts only a few minutes, so it can become a familiar cue without turning the whole routine into a production.

Intro
(ribbit, ribbit)
(hahaha)
Verse 1
Little green frog, sitting on a log,
Wibble-wobble legs in the morning fog.
Leap-high, leap-high, down to the stream,
Wibble-wobble, giggle-wobble, chasing a sunbeam.
Chorus
Hop, hop, hop, little green frog,
Wibble-wobble, wibble-wobble, on your lily log.
Hop, hop, hop, little green friend,
Wibble-wobble, wibble-wobble, round the river bend.
Verse 2
Little green frog, splashing in the sun,
Wibble-wobble legs, oh you love to run.
Splish-splash, splish-splash, over the reeds,
Wibble-wobble, giggle-wobble, munching lily seeds.
Action Break
Can you hop like a frog? (Hop, hop, hop!)
Can you leap like a frog? (Leap-high, leap-high!)
Can you wibble-wobble? (Wibble-wobble!)
Little green frog... here we go! (hahaha)
Verse 3
Little green frog, singing in the rain,
Wibble-wobble legs, down the muddy lane.
Puff-up, puff-up, croaking a song,
Wibble-wobble, giggle-wobble, sing along, along!
Bridge
Shhh, the little green frog is resting on a leaf,
Tiny, tiny bubbles, and the rest is very brief.
The dragonflies tiptoe, the water's warm and deep,
And the little green frog is drifting off to sleep.
Wobble... wobble... nice and low,
Wobble... wobble... very, very slow.
Then up he pops, with a hop and a spring,
Ready to wibble-wobble - and croak and sing!
Final Chorus
Hop, hop, hop, little green frog,
Wibble-wobble, wibble-wobble, hop along and jog.
Hop, hop, hop, everyone can try,
Wibble-wobble, giggle-wobble, kids and frog say hi!
Outro
Goodbye, little green frog!
Wibble-wobble, giggle-wobble...
Wibble-wobble, giggle-wobble...
(hahaha)
