Song with Felt Animals

Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O

And on that farm he had a goat, E-I-E-I-O

With a maa, maa here.

And a maa, maa there.

Here a maa, there a maa.

Everywhere a maa, maa.

Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O

Repeat with your favorite animals and their sounds. If you're working with letters and sounds, try making everything on the farm start with a certain letter, like "B". Balls, bananas, boats, etc. You'll have a fun experience building letter knowledge and phonological awareness.

I spy with my little eye an animal that is red...

Annie and the wild animalsBy Jan Brett

Movement games with teddy bears

Head and shoulders knees and toes,

Knees and toes.

Head and shoulders knees and toes.

Eyes and ears and mouth and nose.

Head and shoulders

Oh the Grand Old Duke of York.

He had ten thousand men.

He marched them up to the top of the hill.

And he marched them down again.

And when they're up, they're up.

And when they're down, they're down.

And when they're only half way up,

They're neither up nor down.

Teddy bear, teddy bear turn around.

Teddy bear, teddy bear touch the groun.

Teddy bear, teddy bear climb the stairs.

Teddy bear, teddy bear comb your hair.

Teddy bear, teddy bear turn off the light.

Teddy bear, teddy bear say good night.

Snow is falling down, hush.

Snow if falling down, hush.

Let's go dancing.
Let's go play.

Snow is falling down, hush.
