We're Going on a Picnic and We're Leaving Right Away

Picnic song...Raffi's We're Going on a Picnic from his The Corner Grocery Store cd. I printed pictures of all the food items and taped them to popsicle sticks. There were enough for everyone. So, as we marched along to our picnic, we raised whatever food item we had in response to Raffi's question "Did you bring the apples?" "Yes, we brought the apples!"

Flannel Board...5 Hungry Ants...funnnnny! Achoo!

5 hungry ants,
marching in a line,
came upon a picnic
where they could dine.
They marched into the salad,
they marched into the cake,
they marched into the pepper….
Uh oh, that was a mistake!
AHHHH-CHOOO!
4 hungry ants….etc….


Fun Movement Song...Boom Chicka Boom on Peter Allard's Sing it! Say it! Stamp it! Swing it! cd

Then we had a picnic- take-home craft was a picnic basket (easy peasy with die-cut) and food clip art
