Yeah...even the 16-18 month olds catch on to Sleeping Bunnies pretty quickly. I don't teach them to do it, they just follow the older kids...if they don't want to join they don't have to. I turn off the lights for the part where they are sleeping and take a few deep breaths and savour the quiet for those few seconds...try to drag it out...hahha...which adds suspence for them and then pop the lights on and sing "wake up little bunnies an hop hop hop"...the LOVE it! As for puppets, I get the puppet to hold a flash card for example and the puppet will talk to the kids and say something like "I can't remember what this is...can you help me?"...then I'll give each child a flashcard and then go back to the puppet theater and the puppet will cry and say he has lost his "square"...can anyone find it for him...at which point whoever has the square should bring it up and give it to the puppet...etc. The older kids help the younger ones who don't necessarily know they are holding a "square" card and we go on like that. Then, the kids get to put on a puppet show and that is really neat because they usually repeat exactly what I have done and the repetition reinforces the learning
