Family Storytime: Chickens

Clipart by Krista Wallden of Creative Clips. Graphic designed on PicMonkey.

Are you feeling clucky?  I know I am!  Especially after this super fun chicken themed storytime.

My storytime highlights from today include: getting to re-live my days from HS Jazz Swing choir as I scatted my way through Cock-A-Doodle-Do Le Doo-Bop!, ​singing "If You're a Chicken and You Know It", and shaking some shaky eggs to Laurie Berkner's fabulous song "I Know a Chicken."

And, now, a chicken joke:
Which side of a chicken has more feathers?
The outside (ba-dum-tchhhhh)

Flannel: Hens of a Different Color

from Departmental Flannel Library 
​
This little hen is red. She is very tired and won’t get out of bed.
This little hen is brown. She is feeling glad and wearing a crown.
This little hen is yellow.  She really likes to eat Jell-O.
This little hen is white.  She dances and plays, oh what a sight.
This little hen is purple.  She spends her day running around in circles.
This little hen is green.  She is the silliest hen I have ever seen.
This little hen is pink.  She does down to the pond to get a drink.
All of these hens live at the farm right inside of the big red barn.
