Along with Five Little Monkeys, the Three Little Ducks nursery rhyme is perfect for learning numbers AND about animals. There are many kids who do not know that a duck will quack, and they learn that in the song. You can bring your preschool class around to animal sounds by using this song. The song can be adapted and adjusted to make your class more fun, and you may start adding quite a lot of sounds to the song just for fun.
#1: The Ducks Quack
The ducks quack in the song because that is the majority of what happens. The education that you give your kids will be much improved because you have used the song to help them study every animal sound you can think of. It is true that the ducks quack in the song, and that is half the rhyming in the song. You may ask your kids to memorize the song before you move on, and you can use the song to increase their knowledge of animal sounds.
#2: Animal Sounds
You may add as many animal sounds to this song as you like, and you will find that the children begin to suggest sounds that you should add. You will use the song as a template for what you have asked the kids to write, and you will create the ultimate animal sounds song. The animals songs may range from the horses to the donkeys. There are many different animals you may include such as cats, dogs, mice, and birds. Let the children model these sounds for you, and ask them how they plan to write a song with these sounds in it.
#3: Perform The Song Often
The animal sounds that you begin to use in the class will grow because of the song, and you will add them throughout the year because the kids continue to suggest them to you. They come to your class making these sounds, and they get excited because they have found a way to make their own music. They do not have to wait around for only one kind of song to watch, and you can keep them coming back for more training in writing.
#4: Watch The Videos Online
The videos that you watch online come from The Backyard Show and the Barney Show. The Barney Show made the song a little bit more famous than it was at its premiere, and it has been updated a few times over into videos that you can watch with the kids. They will be fixed on the videos because they want to see something that makes the animal sounds they like. Ask them to sing your version of the song over the video, and they will figure out all the different sounds throughout the year. Ask your kids how many animal sounds they want to make today, make those sounds rhyme in their poems, and keep coming back tot he song so that you can review the sounds.
