Funky Chicken

"Remember, people will judge you by your actions, not your intentions. You may have a heart of gold, but so does a hard-boiled egg. " Maya Angelou 



RHYME-TIME
  • Funky Chicken Song

    Tuck your hands in your armpit and flap your elbows while you dance (and sing to this song based on today's first storybook). Most of all, have some fun making up your actions to this song.

STORYTIME:

Dance Like a Chicken Day

"Do a loony-goony dance 

'Cross the kitchen floor, 

Put something silly in the world

That ain't been there before." – Shel Silverstein, A Light in the Attic 



RHYME-TIME
  • I'm a Little Chick (Tune: I'm a Little Teapot)
    Adapted by Jolanda Garcia, KidsSoup, Inc.
    I'm a little chick inside an egg;
    I’m slowly growing from head to leg.
    Soon you'll hear a knocking, pecking sound;
    The egg will crack -  and I’ll pop out!
