About this song
A classic German circle-game song. Children crouch as the 'sleeping bunny' and spring up to hop on cue — a joyful whole-body game widely played in German kindergartens.
How to do it (Step by step)
- Crouch down low as the sleeping bunny together.
- Spring up and hop on 'Häschen hüpf!'.
- Repeat the surprise hop for giggles.
Lyrics & Rhyme
Häschen in der Grube
saß und schlief.
Armes Häschen, bist du krank,
dass du nicht mehr hüpfen kannst?
Häschen hüpf! Häschen hüpf! Häschen hüpf!
