Ive made the small version of thisbefore and mounted it on a sheet of
9X12 construction paper. The largeone takes up quite a bit of space,
but if youve got room for it-go forit!

Groundhog Day Poetry and SongsGroundhog DayOld Groundhog stretched in his leafy bed.
He turned over slowly and then he said,"I wonder if spring is on the way,I'll go and check the weather today.If I see my shadow between eleven and noon,I then will know that I'm out too soon.I'll crawl back in bed for six weeks more,Pull up the warm covers and snore and snore.But if no shadow gives me a scare,
I know that spring is in the air,I'll wake my friends and wish them cheer,With glorious news that spring is here."
The Second of Februaryhere's only the day the whole long year,
hat I hope and pray the sun won't appear.he second of February, you all know,he groundhog goes searching for his shadow.
If he should find it, the story is told,We'll have six more weeks of winter's cold.But if it is cloudy, his shadow's not there,
here'll soon be warm weather and days will be fair.So please, Mr. Sun, for just this one day.
Find a big dark cloud - and stay away!

The Groundhoghe funny little groundhog
Digs a home in the fall,And hides there all winter
Rolled up in a ball.On February 2ndHe comes out of there
o look at the skyAnd to sniff the air.
See My Shadow(to the tune of "Frere Jacques")
See my shadow,See my shadow,Move this way,Move this way,Doing things that I do,Doing things that I do,
Follow me,Follow me.
To the GroundhogWill youWon't youSee your shadow?
Will itWon't itReally matter?
Do youDon't youGrin to see

Seriously?
Groundhog's Holidayhe second month, the second day,
We know is Groundhog's Holiday.he keeper of the local zoo,
Photographers, reporters, too,Anxiously await togetherWoodchuck's forecast of the weather.
Each year this time he leaves his hearth,His home beneath good Mother Earth.He wiggles out to see the sunAnd sure enough - ask anyone-Should he perchance his shadow see,Back to his home again he'll flee.And that sign's still the surest thingSix weeks must pass before it's spring!
Shadow Time(to the tune of "The Itsy-bitsy Spider")
he furry little groundhogGoes in his hole to sleep,
hrough the cold winter's
Snow and ice so deep,In FebruaryHe stretches to and fro,Does the furry little groundhogGet scared by his shadow?

Mr. Groundhog's ShadowA groundhog lives down deep in the ground.He sleeps through the winter.And every year about this time,
He wakes up and wonders,"Is it time to get out of bedOr pull the covers back over my head?"So he pokes his head up out of the ground.Will he see his shadow?
Groundhog, Groundhog
Groundhog, groundhog,Funny little ground hog,Peep from your warm winter den.Sunshine, sunshine,Bright and yellow sunshine,Back to sleep and hide your head.
Groundhog, groundhog,Funny little ground hog,Peep from your warm winter den.Cloudy, cloudy,Overcast and cloudy,Spring's on the way it's said.
Little Groundhog(to the tune of "Little White Duck")
here's a little groundhogWho lives in the ground,A little groundhogWho likes to look around.

Little GroundhogI'm a little groundhogShort and stout.On Groundhog DayI always come out.If the sun is shiningMy shadow, I will see.If the sun's not out
hen you'll only see me.Shine, sun, shineWinter's here for six weeks more.Shine, sun, shineBecause I want to snore.If you do not shineAnd my shadow's not out,
Spring is here!Everybody will shout.

(to the tune of "I'm A Little Teapot")
I'm a little groundhog, it's my day.Wake and stretch, go out and play.Down in my burrow, down so deep,
ime to wake, from my long winter's sleep.
Grumble, grumble, scratch, scratch,Grunt, grunt, yawn.I'll eat my breakfast in your front lawn.I'm a little groundhog, it's my day.Wake and stretch, go out and play.
Here's a Little Groundhog(to the tune of "I'm a Little Teapot")
Here's a little groundhog, furry and brown,He's popping up to look around.If he sees his shadow, down he'll go.
hen six more weeks of winter - Oh No!!
Groundhog DayGroundhog, groundhog,What do you seek?As out of your holeYou quietly peek.
If the day be fairYour shadow will beCast on the groundFor all to see.
And back to your lair,You'll quickly creep

And for six long weeksAgain you'll sleep.
But if we're lucky,he sky will be gray,
And your shadow
oday will be far away.
hen all of usWill dance and sing.'Cause just around the cornerHere comes Spring!
Mary Toots

It seems rather funnyhat if it is sunnyhe groundhog goes back in his hole
For six weeks of winter.
Mr. Groundhog(to the tune of "London Bridges")
Mr. Groundhog down below,Pop up through the fluffy snow,See his shadow watch him go,
Winter's here to stay.Mr. Groundhog down below,Pops up through the fluffy snow,Wide awake he wants to play,Spring is on it's way.
Groundhog DayA shy little groundhog left his bed,Heigh Ho! Heigh Ho!"It must be time for spring," he said.He looked to the left, he looked to the right,
he day was clear and the sun was bright; He saw his shadow and ran in fright.
hen back to his burrow he crept, he crept,And six more winter weeks he slept.
Fun on Groundhog Dayhere are shadows you make in the sunshine,here are shadows you make by the lamp,here are shadows that lurk in the forest
While you tell creepy stories at camp.
