E-I-E-I-O

(Repeat the verse, each time replacing the animal and its sound: pig, duck, horse, sheep, chicken, and so on.)

I had a little hen, the prettiest ever seen,

She washed me the dishes and kept the house clean;

She went to the mill to fetch me some flour,

She brought it home in less than an hour;

She baked me my bread, she brewed me my ale,

She sat by the fire and told many a fine tale.

Hickety pickety, my black hen.

She lays eggs for gentlemen.

Sometimes nine and sometimes ten,

Hickety pickety, my black hen.

There was a farmer had a dog,

And Bingo was his name-o.

B-I-N-G-O

B-I-N-G-O

B-I-N-G-O

And Bingo was his name-o.

Baa baa black sheep

Have you any wool?

Yes sir, yes sir

Three bags full

One for the master

One for the dame

And one for the little boy

Who lives down the lane

“I’m a Little Piggy” sung to the tune of “I’m a little Teapot”

I’m a little piggy

Short and stout

Here are my ears

Here is my snout

When I see the

Farmer in my pen,

I oink, oink, oink

and wiggle my tail.

The leaves are falling down

The leaves are falling down

Red, yellow, green, and brown

The leaves are falling down

“The Cow in the Barn” sung to the tune of “Wheels on the bus”

Moo, moo, moo. Moo, moo, moo,

All around the farm.

The pig in the pen goes oink, oink, oink,………..

The hens in the coop go cluck……….

The lambs on the hill go baa…

The ducks on the pond go quack…

Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep,

And can’t tell where to find them;

Leave them alone, And they’ll come home,

Wagging their tails behind them.

The Farmer in the Dell

The farmer in the dell

Hi-ho, the derry-o

On the Farm Visual Perception for Preschoolers

Visual perception is how we understand and know about the world and our environment through what we see. When our children see something out of their normal, it triggers curiosity.

Coming across large animals, animals with feathers, barns, tractors and farmers doing jobs you don’t see in the city will leave them wondering how it works.

Nurturing this curiosity and their visual perception, will help them find their world less confusing and perform tasks that everyone needs. Not to mention thriving in each part of their life as they grow.

First one to make five in a row wins.

Pig (Farm) Color Matching Activity- Cut the pigs in half, mix them around in a sensory bin (or flipped over on a flat surface like a memory game) and have your little find it’s matching half. Color recognition and matching is very helpful for your young learners.

This visual perception includes several different cards to draw from and on each card it tells the child what the pig wants to eat. Incorporate math with a visual game to keep your littles engaged!
