COUNTING GAME
RHYME
One little horse went out to play, in the barnyard filled
with hay.
He thought it was so much fun, he called to some friends
who came on the run.
Two little cows went out to play, in the barnyard
filled with hay.
They thought it was so much fun, they called to some
friends who came on the run.
Continue with this counting rhyme, add more and more
animals, such as; 3-pigs, 4-ducks, and 5-chicks. You
can have children act this out in person, with toy animals
or flannelboard cutouts.

COOKING ACTIVITIES
A farm unit is a great time to add some real cooking projects
to your curriculum.
|
- Make applesauce, let your children help you, wash,
peel, dice, cook and blend the soft apples.
- Make cornbread.
- Make apple tarts or small berry pies.
- Biscuits and jam are a great favorite of most preschoolers.
Use ready made biscuit mix or be adventurous and start
from scratch. Your kids will love it and they are
easy to make.
- Read Little Red Hen and make bread.

VEGETABLE PATCH
Sung to: "The Paw Paw Patch"
Pick some corn
And put it in the wagon.
Pick some corn
And put it in the wagon.
Pick some corn
And put it in the wagon.
Way down yonder
At the vegetable patch.
