Snack: Frozen Banana Pops (swap: Yogurt → oat yogurt), recipe at peabody.kids/kitchen/banana-pops. Outside: Call an animal; everyone moves like it: an elephant stomps, a monkey swings its arms, a snake slithers.

Pop Goes the Weasel
All around the cobbler's bench The monkey chased the weasel; The monkey thought 'twas all in fun. Pop! goes the weasel.
