Bounce one child on your knees as you say this chant. Holding him/her securely, let the child “slip” part way between your legs when you say “kerplop!”


Down by the banks of the hanky panky

Where the bullfrogs jump from bank to banky,

They went oops, opps, belly flops

One missed the lily pad and went...kerplop!
