Book – Farm Animals<br />

Animals- horse, sheep, pig, duck, hen, cow<br />

Bag<br />

The Story <strong>and</strong> Game:<br />

• Read the story <strong>and</strong> find the animals.<br />

• Re read the story finding plastic animals as they appear.<br />

• Make noises for the animals after you see them <strong>and</strong> name them.<br />

• Match the toy animals to the picture ones.<br />

• Hide the animals in the bag <strong>and</strong> make their noise before pulling them out.<br />

(This is not a test – just leave it a second or two before showing your child the<br />

animal).<br />

• Make an animal sound <strong>and</strong> then show the wrong animal – make a big fuss<br />

about being wrong.<br />

• Follow your child’s ideas <strong>and</strong> choices <strong>and</strong> encourage them to do the story for<br />

you.<br />

• Play counting games to count how many <strong>of</strong> each sort <strong>of</strong> animal is in the book.<br />

• Line up the animals <strong>and</strong> say the sound that the animal makes. See if your<br />

child can select the appropriate animal. Move on to the name <strong>of</strong> the animal<br />

once this is accomplished.<br />

• When putting the animals away ask for one item at first e.g. ‘ Give me the<br />

horse’. Move on to 2 items e.g. ‘Give me the sheep <strong>and</strong> the duck.’ Increase to<br />

3 <strong>and</strong> 4.<br />

• Use the farm mat to put the animals in different places. Talk about these,<br />

moving the animals about talking about the activities the animals might do.<br />

e.g. ‘Here’s the duck, he’s going to swim in the water. SPLASH, SPLASH!’<br />

‘Here’s the cow. He’s going to eat the hay. Yum! Yum! Use lots <strong>of</strong> expression!<br />

• Sing Old MacDonald with your child. Using the animals from the story let your<br />

child choose which animals are on the farm. Sing the song <strong>and</strong> you choose<br />

the animals. See if your child can find the one to match the noise you make.<br />

ENJOY!<br />

Please do not leave your child unsupervised with the listening box or its<br />

contents. Thank you.
