Rhyme: “To Market, To Market”
To market, to market (bounce slowly)
To buy a fat pig.
Home again, home again (bounce quickly)
Jiggety jig.
To market, to market (bounce slowly)
To buy a fat hog.
Home again, home again (bounce quickly)
Jiggety jog.

Song: “The Tail of a Pig” (Tune: “The Wheels on the Bus”)

The tail of a pig curls round and round… (circle finger round and round)
All through the mud.

The hooves of a pig go run, run, run… All through the mud.

The ears of a pig go twitch, twitch, twitch… All through the mud.

Song: “I’m a Little Piggy” (Tune: “I’m a Little Teapot”)
I’m a little piggy
Short and stout
Here are my ears (point to ears)
And here is my snout (point to nose)
When I see the yummy food in my pail
I oink, oink oink
and wiggle my tail (wiggle your piggy tails!)

You put the popcorn in and you start to grin,
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, POP! (wiggle baby, then lift)

Rhyme: Tick tock, tick tock, I’m a little cuckoo clock (swing baby side to side)
Tick tock, tick tock, stop!

Book: How Big is a Pig? by Claire Beaton

how big is a pig

Song: “The Tail of a Pig” (Tune: “The Wheels on the Bus”)

The tail of a pig curls round and round… (circle finger round and round)
All through the mud.

The mouth of a pig goes oink, oink, oink… (put hand in front of mouth like a snout)
All through the mud.

The snout of a pig goes root, root, root…(act with snout and hands like you are rooting through the mud)
All through the mud.

The hooves of a pig go run, run, run… All through the mud.

The ears of a pig go twitch, twitch, twitch… All through the mud.

Fingerplay: “Two Mother Pigs”
Two mother pigs lived in a pen (show thumbs)
Each had four babies, and that made ten (show fingers & thumbs)
These four babies were black as night (thumb in palm, wiggle fingers)
These four babies were black and white (switch hands, repeat)
But all eight babies loved to play
And they rolled and rolled in the mud all day (roll hands)
At night, with their mother, they curled up in a heap (clasp hands)
And squealed and squealed till they fell fast asleep.
