Over in the Barnyard
Over in the barnyard in the pen in the sun
Lived an old mother pig and her little piglet one
"Oink", said the mother, "I oink", said the one.
So they oinked all day in the pen in the sun.

Over in the barnyard where the green grass grew
Lived an old mother horse and her little colts two
"Neigh", said the mother, "We neigh", said the two.
So they neighed all day where the green grass grew.

Over in the barnyard beneath the old oak tree
Lived an old mother sheep and her little lambs three.
"Baa", said the mother. "We baa", said the three.
So they baaed all day beneath the old oak tree.

Songs

I Went to the Farm

I went to the farm the other day. (march in place)

 I saw a cow across the way. (point)

And what do you think I heard it say? (cup hand to ear)

Moo, Moo, Moo!

(repeat with other farm animals)

If You Want to Be a . . (tune - if you’re happy and you know it)

 If you want to be a pig, give an oink: oink-oink!

 If you want to be a pig, give an oink: oink-oink!

If you want to be a pig, Oh, if you want to be a pig, If you want to be a pig, give an oink: oink-oink!

(Repeat using other animals and clap throughout)

Shake, Shake, Shake
(Tune: Do your ears hang low?)

Can you shake your egg up high?
Can you shake your egg down low?
Can you shake it side to side?
Can you shake it by your toe?
Can you shake it really fast?
Can you shake it really slow?Can you shake your egg?
