Hey there! Are you ready to sing a fun song with me? Let’s get started!
In our song, there’s a child who loves animals. Guess what? The child takes the cat! Isn’t that fun? Let’s sing together:
“The child takes the cat, the child takes the cat, Ho hi, how the derry-o! The child takes the cat!”
After the child takes the cat, something else happens. Can you guess? The child takes the cheese! Yum! Let’s sing about it:
“The child takes the cheese, the child takes the cheese, Ho hi, how the derry-o! The child takes the cheese!”
Did you know you can have even more fun by playing games and learning new things? You can find cool apps to play with. Just ask a grown-up to help you search for “ping pong” on YouTube. You’ll find lots of fun videos to watch and learn from!
Remember, singing and playing are great ways to learn and have fun. So keep singing, keep smiling, and enjoy your day!
Animal Parade: Gather some toy animals or draw pictures of different animals. Create a parade where each child picks an animal and sings a line about it, similar to the song. For example, “The child takes the dog, the child takes the dog, Ho hi, how the derry-o! The child takes the dog!” Encourage children to think of what the animal might do next, like “The dog takes the bone!”
Cheese Hunt: Hide small pieces of paper or toy cheese around the room. Let the children pretend to be the child from the song and go on a cheese hunt. Once they find the cheese, they can sing the song line about the cheese. This activity helps them connect the song to a fun, physical activity.
Story Time with a Twist: Ask the children to imagine what happens after the child takes the cheese. Encourage them to come up with their own continuation of the story. What does the child do next? Does the cat do something fun? Let them draw or act out their ideas, fostering creativity and storytelling skills.
