On the Farm

We talked about colors, played I-Spy, and sang "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep." It was all about objects and animals you see on the farm! And, to incorporate a little science into the mix, our special letter of the day was Z for "Zoology"!

Rhymes/Fingerplays/Songs:

Orange as a Carrot

ORANGE as a carrot,
YELLOW as a pear,
PURPLE as a plum,
BROWN as a bear,
GREEN as the grass,
BLUE as the sky,
BLACK as a cat
RED as cherry pie

*With this rhyme, I printed out pictures of each object. I had the kids help tell me what each object was and then tell me its color. 

I-Spy Game

I Spy with my little eye

Something..._____.

Baa Baa Black Sheep

Baa, baa, black sheep,

Have you any wool?

Yes, sir, yes, sir,

Three bags full;

One for the master,

And one for the dame,

And one for the little boy

Who lives down the lane.

 

Books:

1. "I Spy On the Farm" by

This is such a fun book! There is a hole cut-out where the rooster's head is. With each animal, it shows a bit of their body (including what color they are) and then the sound they make. Then the kids get to guess what animal we are talking about on the farm!

2. "Blue Goose" by Nancy Tafuri
