Bounce: Dump Truck
Dump truck, dump truck bumpin’ down the road.
Spillin’ out gravel as you travel with your load.

Dump truck, dump truck, dump truck,
DUMP!

Bounce/Movement: Two Little Boats
(Tilt forward and backward)
Two little boats went out to sea
All is calm as calm can be.
(Tilt side to side)
Gently the wind begins to blow
Two little boats rock to and fro.
(Bounce up and down)
Loudly the wind begins to shout
Two little boats they bounce about.
STOP! Goes the storm, the wind, and rain (freeze)
Two little boats sail on again (rock forward and backward)..
