OVER IN THE BARNYARD
Have your children pretend to be ducks as they stand in a row, quacking while the farmer (you) comes to feed them. Pass out small bags of cereal for their snack.
Over in the barnyard
Early in the morning,
See the little ducks
Standing in a row.
See the busy farmer
Giving them their breakfast,
Quack, quack, quack, quack,
Off they go!

ALL AROUND THE BARNYARD
Sing the following song to the tune of “Ten Little Indians”.
Waddle, waddle, little duck,
Waddle, waddle, little duck.
Waddle, waddle, little duck,
All around the barnyard.
Jean Warren

WHEN A YELLOW DUCK
When a yellow duck walks down the street,
He likes to quack and waddle his feet.
If he finds a pond he jumps right in.
And around he goes, for a swim!
