Something that begins with the curiosity of an elephant that, seeing that the spider’s web does not break, decides to call more elephants. A party of pachyderms that disobeys all the laws of physics, but that leaves us a wonderful song. By the way, what will the spider think of all this?

Teaching idea & activities
Ask children to make a circle and imagine this is a web. One of them jumps inside the circle and dances like an elephant while they are singing the 1st verse altogether. The next one follows with the 2nd verse, etc.
In the end all the children dance their “elephant dance”!
