Active Song:  Where Has My Little Dog Gone
This is a version of “Little Mouse”. Hide a small dog behind different colored houses.

Where, oh where, has my little dog gone,
Oh where, oh where can he be?
With his ears cut short
And his tail cut long.
Oh where, oh where can he be?

Book: Bark George by Jules Feiffer

Song: Rags (use a puppet to act out the song)

I have a dog.
His name is Rags.
He eats so much that his tummy sags,
His ears flip flop and his tail wig wags.
And when he walks, he goes zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
I love Rags and he loves me.

My dog Rags, he loves to play.
He rolls around in the mud all day.
I whistle. [whistle]
He won’t obey.
He always runs the other way.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
I love Rags and he loves me.

My dog Rags, he loves to run.
He wants me to join him in the fun.
He whimpers. [whimper]
He won’t obey.
He always runs the other way.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
I love Rags and he loves me.

My dog Rags, he loves to bark.
He wants me to join him in the park.
He barks. [bark bark]
He tries to talk.
He barks to chase the cats away.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
I love Rags and he loves me.

I have a dog. His name is Rags.
He eats so much that his tummy sags,
His ears flip flop and his tail wig wags.
And when he walks, he goes zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
I love Rags and he loves me.
