Farmer in the Dell

Last week for Large Group, we talked about animals.  We practiced answering "wh" questions by telling Teacher Heidi what animal we thought Old MacDonald would have on his farm.  After we named an animal, we told the class what we thought that animal would sound like and we all sang the  Old MacDonald Had a Farm song using the animal we named and how we thought that animal would sound.  

We pretended to be many animals.  We were donkeys, pigs, cows, dogs, ducks, cats, horses and chickens.  Some of us even thought that maybe Old MacDonald had some dinosaurs, monkeys, snakes and elephants.

You can work on answering "wh"questions and using words and phrases at home by playing the same game with family and/or friends.
