The Lion Sleeps Tonight in Kindergarten

Kindergarteners are working on our annual puppet performance to be shown at the Art Show in May. Students will be making a lion puppet in art. In library, we are reading fiction and nonfiction books about lions and other animals. We are in the process of learning the words to The Lion Sleeps Tonight by The Tokens for our puppet performance. While the art puppets are being made, we created stick puppets to practice our moves. Below is a list of books we are reading as well as a video of the Tokens performing the song live. Students will see the video below at the end of the project. I think they will get a kick out of what the real performers look like especially after they become so familiar with the song.
