Fun Filled Friday: On the Farm (eggs)

I'll be busy tomorrow, so I wanted to leave you with some fun activities today. Enjoy!

You could use these activities to go along with spring or when learning about farms.

Two Little Eggs (Poem)
Two little eggs
In a nest soft and deep.
Two eggs crack;
Then two birds peep!
Two birds eat,
And two birds sleep.
Then two fly away
With a "Cheep! Cheep! Cheep!"

Chicken Noises
Make a noise like a rooster. (crow)
Make a noise like a hen. (cluck)
Make a noise like a chick. (peep)
Make a noise like an egg. (silence)

Ten Chicken Eggs
Five eggs (hold up five fingers)
And five eggs (hold up five more fingers)
That makes . . . ten!
(pause and let children answer ten)
Sitting on top is Mother Hen.
(Place hands together knuckles up.)

Crackle! Crackle! Crackle (clap three times)
What do I see? (look amazed)
Ten fluffy chickes. (hold up 10 fingers and wiggle them)
As yellow as can be. (Close fists)

Peep!, peep!, peep!, peep!
(hold up a finger for each peep)
Peep!, peep!, peep!, peep!
Peep! Peep!

The Chick in the Egg
Tune: "The Wheels on the Bus"

The hen on the farm lays a smooth white egg,
Smooth white egg, smooth white egg.
The hen on the farm lays a smooth white egg,
Cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck!

Inside the eggs grows a little chick,
Little chick, little chick.
Inside the egg grows a little chick,
In twenty-one days.

The chick has a beak to crack the egg,
Crack the egg, crack the egg.
The chick has a beak to crack the egg,
Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap!

He hatches from the egg and flaps his wings,
Flaps his wings, flaps his wings.
He hatches from the egg and flaps his wings,
Flap, flap, flap, flap, flap!

The hen keeps her chick warm in the nest,
In the nest, in the nest.
The hen keeps her chick warm in the nest,
Peep, peep, peep, peep, peep!
