Baa Baa Pink Sheep
Baa Baa
Pink sheep
Have you
any bread?
Yes sir,
yes sir
On my
head.
Baa Baa
Red sheep
Have you
any socks?
Yes sir,
yes sir
In my
box.
Baa Baa
Blue sheep
Have you
any toes?
Yes sir,
yes sir
Up my
nose.
Baa Baa
Green sheep
Have you
any cake?
No I don’t
For goodness
sake!
I wrote the above poem, basically, because I was really bored. Sing it to young kids; they will delight in how ridiculous you are, and feel indignant at how your are making such rookie errors. Discuss what other alternative renderings of this famous song you can come up with. Write a few examples of the board, then they can have a go on their own or in pairs. Enjoy!
