It is February 2nd, the Groundhog’s Day!
According to legend, the Groundhog will come out of his burrow to look for his own shadow on this day after a long winter sleep.
It is said that if the groundhog does not see its shadow, Spring will come early. On the flip side, if the groundhog sees a shadow, the Winter shall last for another 6 weeks.
Traditionally on this day, we observe groundhogs to predict the arrival of spring.
Sing the groundhog song with your kids to double the joy of welcoming spring!
Lyrics of “I’m a little groundhog” song:
I’m a little groundhog, furry and brown
I pop my head out of my hole & look around
But If I see my shadow, I’ll go back down
For 6 more weeks of winter underground
I’m a little groundhog, furry and brown
I pop my head out of my hole & look around
If I don’t see my shadow, I’ll stay out here
And you’ll have Spring early this year!
