Activity:
Who can think of a word that ends with the sound /og/? (Teacher lists words then
circles any words that will be used in this song.) Let's start with the word DOG. In each
verse, we will drop the first letter and replace it with another. During the pause, the
challenge is to call out the new word before you hear the answer on the recording.
'D' 'O' 'G', I was walking the dog
Take off the 'D' use an 'F' fa, fa,
We walked into a misty fog
'F' 'O' 'G', a misty fog
Take off the 'F' use an 'L' la, la,
We tripped and tumbled over a log
'L' 'O' 'G', tripped over a log
Take off the 'L' use a 'B' ba, ba,
We fell into a mucky bog
'B' 'O' 'G', a mucky bog
Take off the 'B' use an 'H' ha, ha,
We bumped into a friendly hog
'H' 'O' 'G', a friendly hog
Take off the 'H' use an 'M' ma, ma,
The hog said, "Hi, my name is. Mog"
'M' 'O' 'G', my name is Mog
Take off the 'M' use a 'J' ja, ja,
He said, "Jump on" and he started to jog
J' 'O' 'G', he started to jog
Take off the 'J' use a 'P' pa, pa,
He said, "Where to?" I said, "Pog Street"
'P' 'O' 'G', we live on Pog
Take off the 'P' use a 'D' da, da,
My little dog and I rode a hog named Mog
through the bog, past a log,
through the fog to our home on Pog Street...
Thank you Mister Mog
You're a mighty fine hog
I hope you join us again
And we'll go walkin' the dog
