Song:
Baa Baa Black Sheep
(use
laminated sheep cut outs if available)
Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?

One for the dame,
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.

Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir,

And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.
Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir,
