Flannelboard: “Ten Fluffy Chickens”
Five eggs and five eggs
And that makes ten
Sitting on top is mother hen
Cackle, cackle, cackle
And what do I see?
Ten fluffy chicks as yellow as can be

Puppets: “All Around the Barnyard”
All around the barnyard
The animals are fast asleep
Sleeping cows and horses
Sleeping pigs and sheep
Here comes the cocky rooster
To sound his dairy alarm
“Cock-a-doodle-doo!”
To wake the sleepy farm!

Song: “I Know a Chicken”
Oh, I know a chicken and she laid an egg
Oh, I know a chicken and she laid an egg
Oh my goodness, it’s a shaky egg!
Shake your eggs!
(Fast, slow, circle, etc.)

Song: Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes
(Tune: London Bridge is Falling Down)
Head, shoulders, knees, and toes,
Knees and toes,
Knees and toes,
Head, shoulders, knees, and toes,
Eyes, and ears and mouth and nose.

Knees and toes
Higgledy Piggledy
Higgledy Piggledy,
My black hen,
She lays eggs
For gentlemen;
Sometimes nine,
And sometimes ten,
Higgledy Piggledy,
My black hen!

Ten Fingers
A fingerplay
A fingerplay
I have ten fingers hold up both hands, fingers spread
And they all belong to me, point to self
I can make them do things-
Would you like to see?
And they all belong to me, point to self
I can make them do things-
Would you like to see?
I can shut them up tight make fists
I can open them wide open hands
I can put them together place palms together
I can make them all hide put hands behind back
I can open them wide open hands
I can put them together place palms together
I can make them all hide put hands behind back
I can make them jump high hands over head
I can make them jump low touch floor
I can fold them up quietly fold hands in lap
And hold them just so.
I can make them jump low touch floor
I can fold them up quietly fold hands in lap
And hold them just so.
