Music & Movement
Tap and clap along to the beat. When the boy in the story hides in the grass, put your arms up and sway slowly (pretend to hide in the grass) while quietly singing, "Hey there, Ooga Booga, you can't catch me!"

lyrics

THE BOY WITH THE TRUCK

There once was a boy who was playing with a truck on a big green grassy plain.
He was playing with the truck in the middle of the muck when a monster to him came!

“My name is Ooga Booga. I’ve come to take your toy.
If you try to run away, you’ll be running all day, ’cause I’m faster than you, little boy.”

“The monster’s very fast. But maybe I can hide in the grass.
If I keep my body low, and I sway real slow, then maybe I can get him to run past.”

“Hey there, Ooga Booga, you can’t catch me!
Hey there, Ooga Booga, you can’t catch me!”

It worked! It worked. Ooga Booga ran past, through the big green grass.
And the boy had some peace at last.

“Hey there, Ooga Booga, you can’t catch me!
Hey there, Ooga Booga, you can’t catch me!”
