Old MacDonald had a farm

This song is about animals in a farm and all the noises animals make. Children can learn the different animals but you can do plenty of activities with it, for example: colouring
Listen to it with the lyrics.

I would like to think about the different activities this song has and choose one that would apply for your children.

This is another version in You tube, choose the one you like best.

    I would do this activity with children aged 5 years old, although younger children can sing it.
    I think it's an easy and simple activity.
    Consists in painting and recognize the animals.

  10. I choose the activity whose legs? because I think that children from three years old can identify the legs of the animals with pictures and previous lessons of the animals and parts of the animals!!

  11. The activity that I like for play with the children is "What is it?". It is an activity very original and fanny that moreover it helps developer their symbolic function. The appropriate age is 5 or 6 years.

  16. I choose this activity (no_words.pdf) because before I teach the vocabulary and after the childrens learn the song.
    I think that this activity are to children from 2 years old.
    In the first session the childs work the vocabulary and in the future sessions children identify the animals with the pictures.
