Actions / Signs
This song encourages students to be creative and use appropriate actions to mirror the lyrics throughout the verses and chorus. It is recommended that the teaching begins with just the main chorus and clapping interlude as this will be the most accessible part of the song for most students – along with the final ‘woof’!
Some are big
Hold both hands out to the sides
Some are tall
Hold one hand flat and stretch arm high
Some are short / small
Hold one hand flat and reach down low
Others explore
Reach forward then out to the sides with both hands, as if separating long grass
Tiniest squeak
Point forwards and pinch the thumb and forefinger
Loudest Roar
Grasp forward with both hands, shaping fingers like a cat’s claws
Some like to sleep
Hold hands flat together, palms facing each other. Rest the head on the back of the hands in a sleeping gesture

Lyrics >>
Some are big and some are small
From the the veggie eating herbivores
Some are short and some are tall
To the meat loving carnivores
Some like to sleep
While others explore
From the tiniest squeak to the loudest roar!
From the biggest beak
To the smallest paw
It’s animals I adore
Some are big and some are small
From the the veggie eating herbivores
Some are short and some are tall
To the meat loving carnivores
Some like to sleep
While others explore
From the tiniest squeak to the loudest roar!
From the biggest beak
To the smallest paw
It’s animals I adore
I like chickens with their pretty feathers clucking
Playing in their coop running and ducking
I like cows with their velvety skin
But my cat is my favourite thing!
From piglet to hog
From puppy to dog
From tadpole to frog
Don’t forget the hedgehog
From a pup to a rat
From a kitten to a cat
Some are big and some are small
From the the veggie eating herbivores
Some are short and some are tall
To the meat loving carnivores
Some like to sleep
While others explore
From the tiniest squeak to the loudest roar!
From the biggest beak
To the smallest paw
It’s animals I adore
I like dogs, they are cute and cuddly
I like rabbits hopping in the spring
Fluffy tails and the joy that they bring
But flamingo’s the real king of swing!
Some are big and some are small
From the the veggie eating herbivores
Some are short and some are tall
To the meat loving carnivores
Some like to sleep
While others explore
From the tiniest squeak to the loudest roar!
From the biggest beak
To the smallest paw
It’s animals I adore
It’s animals I adore
It’s animals I adore
It’s animals I adore
Woof!
Some are big and some are small
From the the veggie eating herbivores
Some are short and some are tall
To the meat loving carnivores
Some like to sleep
While others explore
From the tiniest squeak to the loudest roar!
From the biggest beak
To the smallest paw
It’s animals I adore – Oh yeah!
It’s animals I adore – That’s right!
It’s animals I adore – Mm-mm
It’s animals I adore
Woof!
