And the Dish ran away with the Spoon

Baa Baa PINK (any colour) sheep 
Have You any SPOTS?

LOTS & LOTS. 

One on my knee 
And one on my Tummy, 

One on my Nose 
And that's not funny 
(but is really is!!)

Baa Baa Pink Sheep,
Have you any spots?

Yes sir, yes sir
Lots and lots!

Some on my fingers,
and some on my toes!
Some on the end of my little pink nose!

Hints and Tips:

  • Instead of spots use a different pattern (stripes, wavy)
  • Use colour flashcards to help child identify colour of the sheep

Ding Dong Bell

Category Rhymes and Songs

Ding, dong, bell, 
Pussy’s in the well. 

Who put her in? 
Little Johnny Flynn. 

Who pulled her out? 
Little Tommy Stout. 

What a naughty boy was that, 
To try to drown poor pussy cat, 

Who never did him any harm, 
But killed all the mice in the farmer's barn 

Alternative Lyrics:

Ding dong bell,
Pussy's at the well.

Who took her there?
Little Johnny Hare.

Who'll bring her in?
Little Tommy Thin.

What a jolly boy was that
To get some milk for pussy cat,

Who ne'er did any harm,
But played with the mice in his father's barn.
