Song/ Rhymes

Flannel board finger play

5 white fluffy sheep (hold up 5 fingers)

In the pasture fast asleep (hands alongside head and lean over)

Their wool keeps them cozy all night long (hug yourself)

The farmer slipped away with one (hold up 1 finger)

And sheared the wool til he was done (clap)

Now there are 4 white fluffy sheep (hold up 4 fingers)

Repeat til 0

If you’re wearing red today, red today, red today,

If you’re wearing red today, stand up and say Hooray?

Repeat for other colors…

Baa Baa Black Sheep (fingerplay)

Baa Baa Black Sheep have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir three bags full.
One for my master,
one for my dame,
and one for the little boy how lives in the lane.
Sung to the tune of Twinkle twinkle little star.

If you want to hear a story, take a seat

Make your hands all nice and neat
If you want to hear a story, take a seat
