Start by singing Raffi's Shake Your Sillies Out.
Book: Barnyard Banter
Poem: My Mother Makes Me Chicken by Jack Prelutsky
At the end of the poem, cough with a handful of feathers for extra laughs!
Puppet Show: The Pigeon Wants a Puppy
Rhyme / Song: Little Birdie Song
Way up in the sky, (Raise arms above head)
the little birdies fly, (Flap hands)
While down in the nest, (Cup hands)
the little birdies rest. (Press hands together on cheek to “sleep”)
With a wing on the left, (Fold hand under arm to make “wing”)
and a wing on the right, (Fold hand under arm to make “wing”)
The little birdies sleep all through the night. (Press hands together on cheek to “sleep”)
(pause)
Shhhhh! You might wake up the birds! (Spoken with finger to lips)
(pause)
The bright sun comes up, (Raise arms above head)
the dew falls away, (Wiggle fingers as you bring your hands downward)
Good Morning, Good Morning! (Make hands “talk” like birds’ beaks)
the little birdies say.
Book: Tickle the Duck
Rhyme: Two Little Blackbirds
We did this one three times, each time we went a little faster.
Book: Chick by Ed Vere
Book: Duck! Rabbit!
Song: I Know a Chicken from the CD Whaddaya Think of That? by Laura Berkner
We handed out egg-shaped shakers and had the kids follow along with the actions.
