This song is also available on Jack Hartmann's album Shake, Rattle n' Read.
Focus: Rhyming awareness, learning to match words with story
Activity – Have fun singing this cute country song and children can fill in the blanks. Help them understand how knowing rhyming words and following the story can make it easier to figure out new words. Ask questions like what’s the story about, what do the pictures show, do any words rhyme. You could even get some country props (i.e., straw hat, overalls, pictures or books of farm animals) and make your own book!
Chorus:
Everybody sing a little country song
All about the animals on the farm
When I leave out a work, just do your best
And sing out loud what work makes sense
There’s a pig whose name is Bud
He roll and plays right in the _____
There’s a cow whose name is Sue
She eats the grass and then says _____
There’s a horse that loves to play
Thin in the barn she eats her _____
There’s some ducks out in the back
They waddle to me and then say _____
(Repeat Chorus)
I see a bunny whose ears just flop
He eats carrots and loves to _____
I see a little skunk run quick as a wink
Just hold your nose sometimes
I see a dog drink from a pail
When he’s real happy he wags his _____
The sheep are now so big and full
That Farmer John can shear their _____
(Repeat Chorus)
