With a Baaaah Baaaah Here and a Baaah Baaah There...

It was a wild and wooly week at the Children's Art Workshop, continuing our focus on farm animals- mainly sheep!

With A Moo Moo Here and a Moo Moo There!


Never have I heard a song sung so loud. Because most children in Germany are familiar with Old MacDonald, this is a super easy song to learn in English, and a great tool for building animal vocabulary. We always sing it a few times and the last time around I simply point to the animals in the book First 100 Words and the children gleefully belt out the song! And, did you know that Old MacDonald also has tigers, penguins and elephants on his farm? 

After singing lots of our favorite songs in English, we created cow masks!




The animal oriented hour ended with a fun parachute exercise, monkeys jumping on the bed, and lots of mooing!
