Farm Sounds
Tune: "Wheels on the Bus"
The cow in the barn goes moo, moo, moo,
moo, moo, moo,
moo, moo, moo,
The cow in the barn goes moo, moo, moo,
All around the Farm.
The pig in the pen goes oink, oink, oink . . .
The hens in the coop go cluck, cluck, cluck . .
The lambs on the hill go baa, baa, baa . . .
The ducks on the pond go quack, quack, quack . . .
The horses in the stall go neigh, neigh, neigh . . .
The goats in the field go . . .
I Like Baby Animals
Tune: "London Bridge"
I like baby animals,
Animals, animals,
I like baby animals,
I'll name some for you.
Kittens, puppies, chicks and foals,
Chicks and foals, chicks and foals.
Kittens, puppies, chicks and foals,
I can name some more.
Goslings, ducklings, lambs and calves,
Lambs and calves, lambs and calves,
Goslings, ducklings, lambs and calves,
I like baby animals.
Ten Little Pigs
Tune: Five Little Ducks Went Out to Play"
Ten little pigs rolled in the mud-
Squishy, squashy, felt so good.
The farmer took one piggy out,
"Oink, Oink, Oink," the pig did shout!
Continue with nine, eight, seven so forth, then . . .
No little pigs rolled in the mud.
They all looked so clean and good.
The famer turned his back and then,
Those pigs rolled in the mud again!
To The Farm
Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle
Chicken, Kittens piglets too,
Donkey, horses, cows that moo,
Fish that swim down in the pond,
Ducklings quacking all day long
All these things you can see
If you go to the Farm with me!
Shovels, Rakes & Even Hoes
Tune: "Twinkle, Twinkle"
Shovels, rakes and even hoes
Help the farmer as he sows.
First, he digs into the ground;
Then he plants some seeds around.
Shovels, rakes, and even hoes
Help the farmer as he sows.
Take Me Out To The Barnyard
Tune: "Take Me Out To The Ball Game"
Take me out to the barnyard
Take me out there right now
Show me the cows, pigs and horses too.
I hear an oink and a neigh and a moo
There are chickens laying their eggs
If they don't lay, its a shame
Oh, its one, two, three eggs today,
And I'm glad I came.
If I Were A Farmer
(Children Use Motions Here)
Oh, if I were a farmer, a farmer, a farmer,
Oh, if I were a farmer, what would I do?
I would milk the cows each morning
Each morning, each morning
I would milk the cows each morning, that's what I'd do.
Continue using:
I would feed the baby chickens
I would gather eggs for breakfast.
Over In the Barnyard
Tune: "Down By The Station"
Over in the barnyard
Early in the morning,
See the yellow chickies
Standing in a row.
See the busy farmer
Giving them breakfast
Cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep.
Off they go.
Substitute other barnyard animals.
Farm Chores

Baa, Baa Black Sheep
Baa baa black sheep
Have you any wool?

Three bags full.
One for the master
One for the dame
One for the little boy who lives down the lane
Baa baa white sheep
Have you any wool?
Continue changing colors . . .
