What game will we play today?
I know, let's act like farm animals; hooray!
Everyone put your hands on your side,
and like our friend the chicken, spread your arms wide.
Now flap around and make a clucking sound
as you search for food on the ground.
To be a chicken is such a treat,
scratching at the earth with your chicken feet.
Which one of you wants to be a duck,
now ducks quack, only chickens cluck.
But ducks swim in ponds as they waddle about,
and have the softest feathers, no doubt.
Now, let's all pretend we are a cow,
remember a cow says moo, a cat says meow.
Try not to mix the two up, okay,
now who can tell me what a goat would say?
A goat says maaah and wears a shaggy coat,
so, who wants to be a goat?
Let's make-believe we're at old Macdonald's farm
with our many animal friends, who wish us no harm.
