3.             Song: Lamb Game

One little wooly lamb with coat so new,
Along comes another lamb, and that makes two.
Two little wooly lambs roaming so free,
Along comes another lamb, and that makes three.
Three little wooly lambs by the barn door,
Along comes another lamb, and that makes four.
Four little wooly lambs so glad to be alive,
Along comes another lamb, and that makes five.
Five little wooly lambs having so much fun,
Together now, let’s count them one by one.
1-2-3-4-5.

5.             Fingerplay: Baa, Baa Black Sheep

Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes, sir, yes, sir,
Three bags full.
One for my master,
One for my dame,
And one for the little boy
Who lives in the lane.
Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes, sir, yes, sir,
Three bags full.

Mary had a little Lamb (Flannel Board)

Mary had a little lamb, Its fleece was white as snow;
And everywhere that Mary went, The lamb was sure to go.
It followed her to school one day, That was against the rule;
It made the children laugh and play To see a lamb at school.
And so the teacher turned it out, But still it lingered near,
And waited patiently about Till Mary did appear.
"Why does the lamb love Mary so?"The eager children cry.
"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know, “The teacher did reply.
