I Went to Visit a Farm

I went through the pages of “Duck on a Bike” for the farm animals, you could also use puppets.

I went to visit a farm one day
I saw an (animal) along the way
What do you think that (animal) did say?

(animal noise)

Five Little Ducks

Five little ducks went out one day
Over the hill and far away
Mother duck said “quack, quack, quack, quack”
But only four little ducks came back

(count down)

One little duck went out one day
Over the hill and far away
Mother duck said “quack, quack, quack, quack”
And no little ducks came waddling back

Mother duck went out one day
Over the hill and far away
Mother duck said “it’s time to come back”
And the five little ducks came waddling back

Little Ducks

Little ducks go quack, quack, quack
Quack, quack, quack
Quack, quack, quack
Little ducks go quack, quack, quack
In the Springtime

Little ducks go waddle, waddle, waddle
Waddle, waddle, waddle
Waddle, waddle, waddle
Little ducks go waddle, waddle, waddle
In the Springtime

Little ducks go flap, flap, flap
Flap, flap, flap
Flap, flap, flap
Little ducks go flap, flap, flap
In the Springtime

How it Went: The weather was really bad this day and I ended up with only a handful of children. It was nice to have a small intimate group for a change. Since the group was smaller I changed this around a little. We spent a lot longer on farm animal noises than originally intended since they were really enjoying it. I also had to shorten “Do Like a Duck” because the kids weren’t really feeling it.
