We’re heading to the farm this month with songs like Old MacDonald and When Cows Get Up in the Morning. Our book this month is I Love Animals, by Flora McDonnell. There are also some links at the bottom for families to take their littles on virtual tours of a farm and national parks.
Happy April to all of our friends!
Old McDonald
Old McDonald had a farm
E-I-E-I-O
And on his farm he had a cow
E-I-E-I-O
With a Moo Moo here and
A Moo Moo there
Here a Moo, There a Moo,
Everywhere a Moo Moo.
Old McDonald had a farm.
E-I-E-I-O
(repeat with other animals)
This Little Piggie (use fingers or toes)
This little piggie went to the market
This little piggie stayed home
This little piggie had milk and cookies
This little piggie had none
This little piggie went
WEE WEE WEEE all the way home.
Washer Woman
Down in the valley where nobody knows
The Wishy Washy Washer Woman
Washes her clothes.
(use clothes to pretend to wash)
She goes “oo-ah, ah-ah” (wash clothes by rubbing them together)
She goes “oo-ah, ah-ah” (wash clothes by rubbing them together)
She goes “oo-ah, ah-ah” (wash clothes by rubbing them together)
(in class we use an old-fashioned wash board)
Rooster Song
I love my rooster
My rooster loves me.
I feed my rooster
‘neath the green willow tree
My little rooster says “Cock-a-doodle-doooo-da-doodally-doodally-dooo”
Cow Song
When the cows get up in the morning
When the cows get up in the morning
When the cows get up in the morning
They never say hello.
(Ask your child “what do cows say?”) (repeat with other animals)
Rain, Rain, Go Away
Rain, Rain, Go away.
Come again another day.
Little (child’s name) wants to play.
Rain, Rain, Go Away!
