Instructions
1. Teach the children the following song.
The Little Green Chameleon by Laura Wynkoop
(Tune: "The Itsy Bitsy Spider")
The little green chameleon
Climbed high up in a tree.
Out came a snake
To see what he could see.
The little green chameleon
Turned brown and red and then
The big snake slid away,
And he turned to green again.
2. Explain to the children that chameleons can change colors, if they are
confused by the words of the song.
3. After the children become comfortable with the words to the song, challenge
them to make up hand or body movements that go along with each line.
Assessment
Consider the following:
* Do the children know the words to the song?
* Do the children understand that chameleons can change color to match their
surroundings?
