ANIMAL DRAMA
Submitted by Lisa
I did this in gym with my kindergarten class and they loved it so
much we did it many times! I called out the name of an animal
and they had to act like that animal. Then, I would shout "Freeze!" and
they would stop to listen for the next animal. I tried to give
them a variety of movements, and alternated between animals that
run, walk, fly, crawl, etc. Some of our favourites: monkey,
snake, crow, fish, dog, cheetah. We talked about how some animals
are slow and some are fast, some quiet, some loud. Great fun!
FARM BOOK AND TAPE
Submitted by Michael
"Inside A Barn In The Country"
I was surprised that no one mentioned this book. It's even
better if you have the tape. It is done really well with a
really cute song that your class will really respond to. The
book is stimulating for their cognitive thinking and by the end of
the song i'll bet most of your class will be able to tell you the
sequence of the animals in the story. It is a great idea for
you listening center.
FIVE LITTLE DUCKS
Five little ducks went in for a swim. (Hold up hand, extend fingers.)
The first little duck put his head in. (Point to each finger
in turn.)
The second little duck put his head back.
The third little duck said, "Quack, quack, quack."
The fourth little duck with his tiny brother
Went for a walk with his father and mother. ("Walk" fingers up opposite arm.)
FIVE LITTLE KITTENS
Five little kittens standing in a row, (Extend left fingers upward,
palm out.)
They nod their heads to the children, so. (Bend fingers forward.)
They run to the left; they run to the right; (Wiggle fingers to left;
then to right.)
They stand up and stretch in the bright sunlight. (Stretch fingers slowly.)
Along comes a dog, who's in for some fun, (Move right fist slowly toward stretching
fingers.)
M-e-o-w! See those kittens run! (Run left fingers behind back.)
LITTLE PUPPY
I have a little puppy,
He loves to romp with me. (Jump around.)
But when he hears the school bus beep, (Make sound of horn.)
He's as sad as sad can be. (Look sad.)
TEN LITTLE DUCKLINGS
Ten little ducklings, (Move hands back and forth in waddling motion.)
Dash, dash, dash!
Jumped in the duck pond, (Motion of jumping.)
Splash, splash, splash!
When the mother called them,
"Quack, quack, quack!"
Ten little ducklings
Swam right back. (Motion of swimming.)
P-I-G-G-Y (sung to "Bingo")
There was a hungry little hog,
And Piggy was his name-o.
P-I-G-G-Y, P-I-G-G-Y, P-I-G-G-Y,
And Piggy was his name-o!
CHICKENS
One, two, three little chickens. (Count three fingers.)
Dear little downy things,
Cuddling away from every danger (Nestle one hand under other arm.)
Under their mother's wings.
Peep, peep, when the baby's sleepy,
This is the song she sings. (Assume a relaxing position.)
Sleep, sleep, sleep, little chicks,
Little chicks sleep in the night.
The Chickens
Said the first little chicken,
With a strange little squirm,
"I wish I could find
A fat little worm."
Said the next little chicken,
With an odd little shrug:
"I wish I could find
A fat little bug."
Said a third little chicken,
With a small sigh of grief,
"I wish I could find
A green little leaf!"
Said the fourth little chicken,
With a faint little moan,
"I wish I could find
A wee gravel stone."
"Now, see here!" said the mother,
From the green garden patch,
"If you want any breakfast,
Just come here and scratch!"
PAPER PLATE PIGS
Your little ones will be hog-wild about these precious piggy projects
for National Pig Day. To make one, sponge-paint one side of two large
paper plates and one small paper plate pink. When the paint is dry,
poke a brad through the center of the smaller plate, and then loosely
attach this plate to one of the larger plates. Cut out and glue construction
paper ears, eyes, and a snout to the smaller plate. Staple the rims
of the large plates together so that the unpainted sides face each
other. Stuff the body of the pig with crumpled tissue paper. As a
final touch, cut a tail from a pink construction paper circle as
shown, and then glue the tail to the back of the pig. "Sue-ey"!
LITTLE CHICK LITTLE CHICK
There's nothing like an entertaining action poem to get your little
chicks cheeping! To prepare for this activity, make five chick necklaces,
each labeled with a different number from 1 to 5. During your group
time, invite five children to stand in front of the class. Provide
each child with a chick necklace and identify its number. As you
recite the poem below, have each little chick perform an action as
directed in the poem.
Little chick, little chick, number one,
Flap your wings and have some fun.
Little chick, little chick, number two,
Reach way down and touch your shoe.
Little chick, little chick, number three,
Nod your head for us to see.
Little chick, little chick, number four,
Jump up high, right off the floor.
Little chick, little chick number five,
Dance around and do the jive.

MILK CARTON BARN
Need: 1 pint milk cartons per child, red and black paint
Have the children paint their entire milk carton with red paint. After
the milk cartons have dried, the teacher cuts a door on the front and
a window in the front near the top in the carton. When the window and
door are cut,
the children may complete the barn by painting the roof black and outlining
the door and window in black. When completely dry, the child may use the barn
as a home for small plastic farm animals.
FARM CHORES
Five little farmers woke up with the sun. (hold up hand)
It was early morning and the chores must be done.
The first little farmer went out to milk the cow. (hold up thumb)
The second little farmer thought he'd better plow. (hold up index finger)
The third little farmer cultivated weeds. (hold up middle finger)
The fourth little farmer planted more seed. (hold up fourth finger)
The fifth little farmer drove his tractor round.(hold up last finger)
Five little farmers, the best that can be found.(hold up hand)
CRITTER COOKIES
Using some farm-animal cookie cutters, your students can create custom
designed cookies for snacktime. Prepare your favorite rolled cookie
dough and add different ingredients for each kind of animal. For
horses, use a chocolate rolled cookie dough. To make pigs, tint cookie
dough pink using a red food coloring. To make sheep, use plain dough
and sprinkle baked cookies
with coconut or sugar (or frost them). To make cows, use half plain dough and
half chocolate dough. Mix the doughs together lightly for a marbled effect
before rolling out the dough.

FARM ANIMAL FARM ANIMAL WHAT DO YOU SEE
Submitted by Miss Dalton
(We scanned the child's picture and placed it here beside their name) Tammy
says:" I see a goat looking at me. ( we scanned pictures of the animal that
they choose and placed it next to their pic)
Each child had a page in our class book. I glued farm fabric on the
cover and called the book "Miss Dalton's Farmland". I laminated the
pages and tied the book together with shoestrings. The kids
loved their
"class book" I placed it in my literature center and they wore it out. They were
so proud of their book!!!
Animal Cracker Pins
Box of Animal Crackers (not iced)
clear nail polish or varnish
flat-backed small gold pins
craft glue or a glue gun.Do NOT use Elmer's glue. It will not hold.
Have your child choose an animal cracker they like. Polish both sides
with clear nail polish or varnish (BE SURE TO DO THIS OUTSIDE OR IN
A WELL VENTILATED AREA!). Once completely dry, glue one pin to the
back; again let dry completely. That's all there is to it! A fast,
fun and cute lapel pin for your kids to wear! Make sure that children
do not put these in their mouths!
This is a great group project. Also ties in with creation or a lesson
on Noah's ark easily. Use it with any animal unit study!
EGG UNIT
Introduce your egg unit in this way. Inside of colorful plastic eggs
place various little plastic creatures (usually available at dollar
stores) that hatch from eggs such as fish, spiders, ducks, geese,
hens, frogs, caterpillars, snakes, and turtles. Give the eggs to
students and invite students to guess what might be inside the eggs.
Pop them open and discuss
what all these creatures have in common-they hatch from eggs. Make a list of
these creatures. Read a book on this topic such as Chickens Aren’t the
Only Ones. Teach the following song and have students refer to and call out
from
the list when you sing the song.
Did You Ever
(Did You Ever See a Lassie)
Did you ever see an egg, an egg, an egg,
Did you ever see an egg and wonder what’s inside?
It could be a _____, or a _______ or ________. (duck, caterpillar, spider,
dinosaur, snake, chick, robin)
Did you ever see an egg and wonder what’s inside?
MORE EGG UNITS
I always buy WHITE plastic eggs. I can usually find them around
easter time. This year I filled each egg with a picture of an
animal that comes from an egg. (I used stickers on small pieces
of posterboard and laminated them.) At circletime I gave each
child an egg and asked them not to open them. I then set up four
chairs at the front of the circle and the children came up 4 at a time
and sat in the chairs with their eggs.
The entire class then recited the following rhyme which I revised to fit this
activity:
Here's an egg.
Look and See.
What's inside?
What can it be?
Crack, Crack,
Crackity Crack.
What comes out?
Now you tell me!
Then each child opened their egg and told us what animal was inside. We
continued until everyone had had a turn opening their eggs. We
were amazed at all the animals that come from eggs!!
I followed up this activity by reading: Chickens Aren't the Only Ones

CHICKS

My children (ages 2-5) made pom- poms chicks ,added felt beak and
eyes. They sat them in a plastic egg. Then we made a nest using the
fake grass and glue
that into a small can( the kind kinds fruits come in.)
They learned that chickens come from eggs. ( We also learned about kindness
and gentleness with our baby chicks. We than visited a place where we watched
real chicks hatch. Have fun.
ANIMALS THAT HATCH FROM EGGS
Here's a fun, simple experience for the sensory table. Collect
plastic Easter eggs of various sizes and colors, Easter grass and plastic
egg laying animals. Inside each plastic Easter egg place a plastic
egg laying animal -- a turtle, frog, chicken, goose, snake, alligator,
lizard, bird, or octopus are some ideas. Place the filled eggs
in the sensory table. Then place a thick layer of green Easter
grass over the eggs. Have the children use their hands to feel
for the eggs and then discover the surprise animals inside each one.

Drama Center
We used bulletin board paper to make our center into a large barn
complete with surrounding grass and a paper "mud puddle" for the
pigs just outside. It was child directed so its not "perfect" looking, but
they loved it and really worked hard. I added plastic rakes
for the fields and lots of stuffed farm animals and they spend lots
of time "farming" take children's favorite farm story and have the
children "act out" as if it were a play. use or make
costumes if you want but we also had fun just using bodies and sounds
to become the different characters which were mostly farm animals.
Art
I made a simple outline of a pig and cut it out on large pink paper. After
reading a book that talked about how pigs roll in the mud to cool down the
children then used brown paint to put "mud" on the pigs (using hands) to cool
them down. messy and lots of fun.
Made a simple outline of a sheep and cut it out of white construction paper. After
reading a book called lamb the children used cotton balls to give their sheep
wool and some used markers to add eyes/color the hoofs...
Made a simple outline of a duck and cut it out of yellow construction paper. Then
cut out simple feather shapes out of tissue and crepe paper and put them in
a basket. I brought in real feathers and we talked about how they feel
and how they help the duck and also how they change from down when they hatch
to feathers as they mature. The children then glued feathers on their
ducks.
simple outline of a chicken out of construction paper. I then put out
large feathers to use as paint brushes and the children painted on the shapes
with many colors using the feathers.

FARM IDEAS
Submitted by Rebecca
We always read the book "Rosie's Walk" and act it out. It is
very simple and we start by just using chairs to act out the words "around", "through", "over",
etc. This is of course good for concept development.
Then we make a map of Rosie's walk showing all the things she passed on her
walk. Finally, we make puppets of Rosie and the fox and the students
take turns being the Rosie or fox puppet and chasing each other around the
map as they read (recite) the simple words of the book.
I also have some simple blacklines of the places Rosie goes and we cut them
apart and sequence them. Then we add a cover and make it into a book
to take home with the puppets.
FARM

We are also doing "farm" this week and today some of the children
took a pig on pink paper and dipped a cork into brown paint and then
stamped the pigs with it to make it look like MUD! Then some of the
students took a lamb cut-out and placed popped popcorn on them. these
really turned out cute. During my farm study I always like to read
The City Mouse and The Country mouse and compare the city to the
country. I like to make a graph where students decide if they would
rather live in the city or the country. I also like to have a dress
in the farm day where students wear jeans, overalls, bandannas, straw
hats, etc. You could also have a dress up day for living in the city.
To conclude our farm unit, we have a farmers breakfast with
all the trimmings! Eggs, ham, biscuits and fruit. This is one
of my favorite units. Also for a change in calling the roll, I let
students name a farm animal one day when their name is called and
another day they make the sound of a farm animal.

Today with the two year olds we made tackle boxes. To make them,
each child needs one
styrofoam egg carton.
1. Cut out "u" handles from sturdy cardboard.
2. Glue one handle onto the egg carton on the smooth side. Opening at the top.
3. Glue a rectangle piece of construction paper over the handle, long enough
to cover the store brand stamped on the egg carton.
4. Write on it, ex: "John's Tackle Box"
5. Child can decorate any way. We glued fish cutouts from wallpaper remnants
on ours.
6. Open tackle boxes. Talk about going fishing. Put gummy worms in each tackle
box and small toys or other candy pieces in the box. We added a small candy
necklace for color.
7. Warn parents at pick up time that there are "real" gummy worms and candy
inside!
These really turned out cute and the children loved them!
