Book: The Sheep Follow by Monica Wellington

The sheep follow lots of different animals.

Song: Lambada by Sesame Street
The Count counts lambs to go to sleep.

Action Rhyme: “Five White and Fluffy Sheep”

Five white and fluffy sheep (hold up five fingers)
In the pasture fast asleep (hands under head, lean over)
Their wool kept them cozy all night long (hug yourself)
Snore! Snore! (make snore sounds)
The farmer slipped away with one (hold up one finger)
And sheared the wool till he was done (clap)
Then there were 4 white fluffy sheep (hold up four fingers)
Baa! Baa! (baa!)

Count down to 0.

Felt Board: Mary’s Many Color Lambs

Mary had a little lamb,
Little lamb, little lamb.
Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow.
But Mary had more than one lamb! (Place a different color lamb on the feltboard.)

What color is this? (Blue!)
And what else is blue? (The sky!)
Mary had a blue lamb,
Blue lamb, blue lamb.
Mary had a blue lamb,
Its fleece was blue as sky…

Continue with other colors.
