Teach the children a new song today about what gorillas eat, called Live Bugs. Mrs. Hargrove will review with students the things that gorillas like to eat. Allow students to respond. Tell students they are going to learn a silly song about what gorillas like to eat. They are to pretend they are hungry gorillas.
Teacher shows the students the chart with picture of key words for the song.
The pictures depict the foods that gorillas eat. Teacher teaches the song by rote, pointing to the pictures that correspond with the appropriate place in the song. Teacher sings each line of the song and has students repeat what she sings. Sing the song altogether several times. Allow students to be creative and make up their own words for the first and last lines of this song.
