Rumpus in the Rainforest

"There's a Rumpus! A rumpus in the rainforest today, a rumpus in the rainforest today!"

What is a rumpus? The definition is a noisy disturbance or a commotion. As you can imagine, when the animals of the Amazon Rainforest learn that humans are there, they react with a "Rumpus!"

Jensen 3rd Graders! We are so sad that we cannot have our musical this year. To turn that frown upside down, we have created these links for you to explore and enjoy! There is no assignment for this page, just a bunch of fun!

Calling all jaguars, sloths, boas, explorers, monkeys, ants, shaman, jungle animals, frogs, and toucans! This year, you get to be whatever animal/character you want to be! Learn the songs, sing them with your family, do the whole musical, make your own costumes, make sets, be creative and enjoy! We hope you learn to love this musical as much as we do!
