Opening Song
Book: Cows Go Boo! by Steve Webb, illustrated by Fred Blunt
Flannel: “Five Pigs So Squeaky Clean” (Tune: “Five Green and Speckled Frogs”)
Five pigs so squeaky clean,
Cleanest you’ve ever seen,
Wanted to go outside and play.
Oink! Oink!
One jumped into the mud,
Landed with a big THUD,
Then there were four clean and squeaky pigs.
Repeat, counting down until there are no clean and squeaky pigs.

Action Song: “I’m a Little Chick” (Tune: “I’m a Little Teapot”)
I’m a little chick who’s ready to hatch, (crouch down inside your egg)
Pecking at my shell, Tap, tap, tap! (pecking motion with hands)
When I crack it open, out I’ll leap (jump out of shell)
I’ll flap my feathers, and say, “Peep! Peep! Peep!”

Puppet Song: “Down on Grandpa’s Farm”
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 she makes a sound like this: Moo! Moo!
The cow she makes a sound like this: Moo! Moo!
Chorus:
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.
Additional verses:
Down on Grandpa’s farm there is a strong, brown horse…
Down on Grandpa’s farm there is fluffy, white sheep…
Down on Grandpa’s farm there is a muddy, pink pig…
Down on Grandpa’s farm there is a little, yellow chick…
