Farm Flurry

I'm not good with flannel boards - I typically find them a little awkward, and if I'm being awkward with a stretcher it means my kids are probably not enjoying it very much. This one, though, is the kind of flannel board I do well with - not so much a story, but a song that can be simply illustrated and invites the kids to be part of the telling. The animals named can be changed to accomodate pretty much any flannel pieces you already have.

It's fun to build up the drama of the sneezes; by the time you finish, your kids will probably be sneezing right along with you!

Sung to the tune of "The Farmer In The Dell."

Lyrics
The farm is in a flurry, the rooster caught the flu! His cock-a-doodle-do has changed to cock-a-doodle-CHOO!

The farm is in a flurry, the sheep has caught the flu! His baa-baa-baa has changed to baa-baa-CHOO!

The farm is in a flurry, the cow has caught the flu! His moo-moo-moo has changes to moo-moo-CHOO!

The farm is in a flurry, the dog has caught the flu! His woof-woof-woof has changed to woof-woof-CHOO!

The farm is in a flurry, the horse has caught the flu! His neigh-neigh-neigh has changed to neigh-neigh-CHOO!
