Hello, friends! It’s me, the pigeon. I’m here to teach you a fun song about a yummy treat called “Hot Cross Buns.” Do you like bread? I love bread! Let’s learn this nursery rhyme together.
Hot cross buns are special little breads with a sweet taste. They have a cross on top, made with icing or dough. People love to eat them, especially during special times like Easter.
Here’s how the song goes:
Hot cross buns, hot cross buns,
One a penny, two a penny, hot cross buns.
If you have no daughters, give them to your sons.
One a penny, two a penny, hot cross buns.
Can you try singing the song with me? It’s fun and easy! You can clap your hands or tap your feet to the beat. Let’s sing it together!
Ask a grown-up to help you make some pretend hot cross buns using playdough. Roll the dough into little buns and use a plastic knife to make a cross on top. You can pretend to sell them in a bakery or share them with your toys!
Nursery rhymes like “Hot Cross Buns” are fun to sing and help us learn new words and sounds. They also teach us about different things, like yummy foods and sharing with friends.
Thanks for singing with me! Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be a “Hot Cross Buns” expert!
Hot Cross Buns Taste Test: With the help of a grown-up, try tasting a real hot cross bun. Pay attention to the flavors and textures. Is it sweet? Is it soft? Talk about what you like or don’t like about it. Can you think of other foods that have a special shape or design like the cross on the bun?
Design Your Own Bun: Use paper and crayons to draw your own hot cross bun. What special design would you put on top? Maybe a star or a heart instead of a cross? Share your drawing with a friend and explain why you chose that design.
Rhythm and Rhyme Game: Clap your hands or use a small drum to create a rhythm while singing the “Hot Cross Buns” song. Try to come up with your own version of the song by changing the words to talk about another favorite food. What would your song sound like if it was about “Chocolate Chip Cookies” or “Apple Pie”?
