What you will need:
Muffin tin or paper cup
Raisins
Corn Cereal
Puffed Cereal
Sunflower Seeds
Have each child take a muffin tin or paper cup. Have each of the ingredients in a bowl with a spoon. Let the children take 2 spoonfuls of each cereal and one spoonful of the raisins and sunflower seeds. You can add other things if you wish. You could make a picture recipe as well to have the children follow.

I Know An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly
I found pictures for this song and colored and laminated them. The lady I made is half the size of a piece of posterboard with a big circle cut out of her stomach so the animals can be fed to the lady.
I know an old lady who swallowed a fly.
I don't know why she swallowed the fly.
Perhaps she'll cry. Boo-hoo. (I sing this instead of "perhaps she'll die" because it is more kid friendly. You can sing Oh me, Oh my.)
I know an old lady who swallowed a spider
That wiggled and jiggled and tickled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
But I don't know why she swallowed the fly,
Perhaps she'll cry. Boo-hoo.
I know an old lady who swallowed a bird.
How absurd to swallow a bird.
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider
That wiggled and jiggled and tickled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
But I don't know why she swallowed the fly,
Perhaps she'll cry. Boo-hoo.
Keep singing in this manner and add these animals in this order.
Cat-Imagine that to swallow a cat.
Dog-What a hog to swallow a dog.
Goat-Just opened her throat and in walked the goat.
Cow-I don't know how she swallowed the cow.
To end the song you sing:
I know an old lady who swallowed a horse.
She cried of course!

Old MacDonald Had a Farm
Everyone knows this song but you can spice it up by making flannel animal pictures or use other pictures and pass them out to the children. When you sing about that animal let that child come up to the front and make the sound.
Old MacDonald had a farm.
E-I-E-I-O.
And on that farm he had a horse.
E-I-E-I-O.
With a neigh, neigh here.
And a neigh, neigh there.
Here a neigh, there a neigh
Everywhere a neigh, neigh.
Old MacDonald had a farm.
E-I-E-I-O.
Continue on with other animals from the farm.

The Farmer in the Dell
The Farmer in the Dell
The Farmer in the Dell
Heigh-ho the derry-O
The Farmer in the Dell.
The Farmer takes a wife.
The Farmer takes a wife.
Heigh-ho the derry-O
The Farmer takes a wife.
The wife takes a child...
The child takes a nurse...
The nurse takes a dog...
The dog takes a cat...
The cat takes a mouse...
The mouse takes the cheese...
The cheese stands alone...
Have everyone in your class stand up and hold hands in a circle. Have someone be the farmer and stand in the middle of the circle. As you sing the song, the class will move in a circle around the child in the middle. Have the "farmer" choose another child to be the wife and have them join him in the middle of the circle. Keep adding children to the middle of the circle with the song. By the end you have a hard time moving around all of the children in the center, but it is really fun.

The Animals on the Farm
(Sung to the tune of "The Wheels on the Bus")
The Cows on the farm go moo, moo, moo
Moo, moo, moo, moo, moo, moo.
The cows on the farm go moo, moo, moo,
All day long.
Horses-neigh
Pigs-oink
Sheep-baa
Chickens-cluck
Turkeys-gobble
Dogs-ruff

Down On Grandpa's Farm
This is a really fun song, but I don't have a tune to relate it to.
Down on Grandpa's farm there is a black and white cow.
Down on Grandpa's farm there is a black and white cow.
The cow, he makes a sound like this moo, moo.
The cow, he makes a sound like this moo, moo.
Oh, we're on our way, we're on our way,
On our way to Grandpa's farm.
We're on our way, we're on our way,
On our way to Grandpa's farm.
Other verses:
Big brown horse (neigh, neigh)
Loud brown dog (ruff, ruff)
Lazy white cat (meow, meow)
Fat Pink Pig (oink, oink)
Plump Red Hen (cluck, cluck)
Fluffy Yellow Chicks (peep, peep)
Pretty white ducks (quack, quack)
Wooly white sheep (baa, baa)
I altered this song to fit zoo animals.
Down at _________ (Zoo Name) Zoo
Be creative and make up sounds or actions for the animals you see. These are a few I came up with from our zoo:
Big White Bear (growl, growl)
Long Necked Giraffes (No sound for this one so I say "They always eat up high, way up high)
Black and White Zebras (They always run really fast, really fast)
Big Tan Lion (roar, roar)
Black and Orange Tiger (roar, roar)

Fun Farm animal activity
Play various animal sounds from a tape and let your children identify what farm animals make that sound. For further reinforcement have them match the sound with a cutout or figurine of the animal -or- Make paper bag puppets
This could be a good activity to reinforce the Farm animals that you children are learning about.

This little Piggy
I think we all know this one
This little piggy went to market (Touch the big toe)
This little piggy stayed home (Touch the second toe)
This little piggy ate roast beef (Touch the third toe)
and this Little piggy ate none (Touch the fourth toe)
And This little piggy went . Wee.. Wee.. all the way home ( Touch the pinkie toe and wiggle it)
This is a good opening activity or a good "toe play"

Farm Animal Crafts
Paint your childrens toes with pink paint. Then have them press them on paper. Now you can have your children decorate the toe prints as pigs and make a farm on the rest of the paper -
Cut out a pig using pink paper. Let your children finger paint it using chocolate pudding.
Cut out the shape of a sheep from a sheet of construction paper. Use a googly eye or punch out a hole for the eye with a hole punch. Use cotton balls and elmer's glue and have the children make them look fluffy like sheep.
Sponge paint a cow cut out using black and white paints, or brown.
Cut out a duck shape and have the children decorate it using yellow crepe (and orange for the beak) and glue. An easy way to do this is to give them paint brushes and have them brush the glue across the duck and then they can put down several pieces of crepe paper at a time. It's less of a mess with the glue. You could also have the children tear up yellow and orange paper and glue that on.

Chicken Dance
(To the tune: The Chicken Dance)
Play or sing the music and have the children do the classic dance:Make your hands like talking four times, flap arms like wings four times, wiggle bottom four times, clap Four times, do it again faster!!
This is a good activity song to get the children's attention either before or during circle time.
