The Nature Dance will get children up and moving. It is helpful to have an adult lead children in making gestures that match the lyrics.
Children who develop a love of nature will become stewards of the Earth.
1. Swim like a fish
Spin like a spider
Soar like a bird
higher and higher
Chorus
Do the nature dance
Do the nature dance
Give nature a chance
Do the nature dance
2. Sway like a tree
Sprinkle like a shower
Walk like a penguin
Grow like a flower
Chorus
3 Blow like the wind
Roll like the waves
Fly like a bat
that lives in a cave
Chorus
4. We need nature
Nature needs us too
Everything in nature
depends on me and you
Chorus (2 times)
