Noisy Farm Animals Storytime

Our final theme for summer reading was "Noise".  Kids love to make animal noises, so I decided to focus this storytime on farm animals.

Books

Cock-a-Doodle Quack! Quack!  by Ivor Baddiel and Sophie Jubb; illustrated by Ailie Busby

Songs/Rhymes/Fingerplays

Here is the link for our weekly songs

Over in the Barnyard
Over in the barnyard
Early in the morning
See the little chickies
All in a row
See the busy farmer
Giving them their breakfast
"Cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep"
Off they go.

Repeat song using different farm animals and the sounds they make.  [Cows, sheep, ducks, horses, pigs]

Clap our Hands When We Get Together (Jim Gill's Irrational Anthem CD)

Baa, Baa Black Sheep
Baa, baa black sheep
Have you any wool?
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Three bags full.
One for the master,
One for the dame,
One for the little boy who lives down the lane.
