Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O! Let’s visit his farm and meet the animals.
And on his farm, he had some chicks, E-I-E-I-O,
With a chick chick here and a chick chick there,
Here a chick, there a chick, everywhere a chick chick.
And on his farm, he had some ducks, E-I-E-I-O,
With a quack quack here and a quack quack there,
Here a quack, there a quack, everywhere a quack quack.
And on his farm, he had some pigs, E-I-E-I-O,
With an oink oink here and an oink oink there,
Here an oink, there an oink, everywhere an oink oink.
Oh no, Miss Molly’s dolly is sick! Let’s see how the doctor helps.
Miss Molly had a dolly who was sick, sick, sick,
So she called for the doctor to come quick, quick, quick.
The doctor came with his bag and his hat,
And he knocked on the door with a rat-a-tat.
He looked at the dolly and he shook his head,
And he said, “Miss Molly, put her straight to bed.”
He wrote on the paper for a pill, pill, pill.
Oh my poor dolly is sick, don’t you worry,
She’s going to be perfectly fine.
Five little pandas jumping on the bed! Let’s see what happens next.
One fell off and bumped his head.
Mama called the doctor, and the doctor said,
“No more pandas jumping on the bed.”

One fell off and bumped his head.

Let’s count with the animals as they hop around the jungle!
The monkey says there’s one crocodile,
The panda says there’s two hippos.
The monkey says there’s three tigers,
The panda says there’s four giraffes.
The monkey says there’s five little newts,
The panda says there’s six possums.
The monkey says there’s seven elephants,
The panda says there’s eight koalas.
The monkey says there’s nine zebras,
The panda says there’s ten lions.
As the animals hop around the jungle, round and round,
The animals learn to count.
Finger Family Puppet Show: Create your own Finger Family puppets using paper or felt. Draw and cut out each family member, and attach them to your fingers using tape or glue. Use your puppets to sing the Finger Family song, and try to come up with new verses by adding more family members or friends. This activity helps you practice creativity and storytelling.
Counting with Toys: Gather ten small toys or objects from around your home. Line them up on a table or the floor. As you sing the “Ten in the Bed” song, remove one toy at a time to match the lyrics. Count how many toys are left after each verse. This will help you practice counting down from ten and understand subtraction in a fun way.
Animal Sound Hunt: Listen to the sounds different animals make in the “Old MacDonald’s Farm” song. Can you find these animals in your neighborhood or in books? Try to mimic the sounds they make. You can also draw pictures of the animals and label them with their sounds. This activity encourages observation and helps you learn about different animals and their sounds.
