This hilarious story is guaranteed to get children giggling!

LITERACY TIP
Songs can encourage early literacy skills by exposing children to the patterns of language, including basic spelling patterns, rhymes, sentence patterns and parts of speech; extending background knowledge and vocabulary; and developing a sense of story and sequence. Use this week's Old MacDonald Had a Farm rhyme to talk about these themes and ask children to share other songs they know to extend the activity.
