Old MacDonald Had a Farm

Old MacDonald Had a Farm

Old MacDonald had a farm, e-i-e-i-o
And on that 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 MacDonald had a farm, e-i-e-i-o

Repeat with various farm animals: chicken, horse, pig, duck, dog, cat, rooster, goat, etc.
Group activity idea: hand out stuffed animals or little figurines of farm animals, sit in a circle, each verse the next child holds their animal up and everyone sings that animal.

The Mitten Song

The Mitten Song

Thumb in the thumb place,
Fingers all together.
This is the song we sing
In mitten weather.

When it is cold
It doesn’t matter whether
Mittens are wool or
Made of finest leather.

Thumb in the thumb place,
Fingers all together.
This is the song we sing
In mitten weather.

Down by the Station

Down by the Station

Down by the station early in the morning
See the little pufferbellies all in a row.
See the engine driver pull his little lever
Chuff chuff, toot toot, off we go!
Chuff chuff, toot toot, off we go!
