SING/ RHYMES:

Groundhog’s Day, I looked around,
Saw my shadow on the ground
Yes I saw my shadow, when I took a peek
That means winter 6 more weeks!

Tune to: (I’m a little Teapot)

I’m a little groundhog round and plump
Here is my shadow here is my rump
Oh I’m a little groundhog short and plump
I see my shadow I see my rump.

I’m A Little Groundhog (sung to I’m a Little Teapot)

I’m a little groundhog, furry and brown,
See me pop while I look around,
If I see my shadow, down I’ll go

Six more weeks of winter, oh no!
