Rolle, rolle, rolle

Rolle, rolle, rolle
Roll, Roll, Roll

Rhyme
(German)
(English)
Rolle, rolle, rolle,
der Teller der ist voll'
Der Bauch der ist lehr
und brummt wie ein Bär!
Brummt wie ein Brummer!
Wir wünschen guten Hunger!
Roll, roll, roll,
The plate is full,
The tummy is empty
And it's rumbling like a bear,
Rumbling like a car,
We wish you a good appetite.
Notes
Here's an alternate translation Lisa sent:
Roll, roll, roll (rolling our arms)
The plate, it is full,
Our tummies, they are empty
And growling like a bear;
Growling like a "brum-brum" (car).
We wish for a good appetite!
Game Instructions
1. Roll your arms.
2. Hold arms out in circle to imitate a big plate.
3. Hold tummy.
4. Hold up hands like grizzly bear paws.
5. Hold up hands on imaginary steering wheel, as if driving a car.
