Little Brown Bulb, a springtime game

​

 A little brown bulb went to sleep in the ground. 
In her little brown nightie she/he slept very sound. 
Old King Winter raged and roared overhead, 
But the little brown bulb did not stir in her/his bed. 
Then came Lady Spring 
tip-toeing, tip-toeing over the lea, 
fingers to lips as soft as can be. 
Then the little brown bulb she/he lifted her/his head, 
slipped off her nightie and jumped out of bed!

  • child curls up on the ground (like a flower bulb)
  • drape a blanket over them
  • recite the poem in an animated voice
  • the child listens, and when the time comes, they wriggle out from under the blanket, and jump up!
  • admire the beauty of their blossom! 


Children often enjoy playing this game over and over again. They also may enjoy playing the game with the adult getting under the blanket, or with both of you getting under the blanket to spring out together!
