Baa Baa White Sheep? Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep!
Today I just learnt that there is not only a part for the famous kids' song "Baa Baa Black Sheep", but there are three parts! I came across to a "Mother Goose" story book VCD today in school. When I was waiting for my work to be done, I read the VCD for leisure, and the first title is this "Baa Baa Black Sheep". Before my discussion, let me list the contents of the three parts below:
Baa baa black sheep
Baa baa black sheep
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir
Three bags full
One for the master
One for the dame
One for the little boy
Who lives down the lane
Baa baa white sheep
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir
Three bags full
One for the robin
And one for the wren
One for the little fox
To warm up his den
Baa baa rainbow sheep
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir
Seven bags full
Red for the rooster
And green for the frog
Blue for the peacock
And pink for the hog
Yellow for the lion
Orange for the cat
Purple for the parakeet
And that is that!
(Repeat the whole song)
What a wonderful song! Full of colours! Also, we can teach the animals (which is quite common in western countries, I believe) to the kids as well. "Baa Baa Black Sheep" is a very famous and common songs. However, as it is so famous and common, teachers may not think about using it as teaching materials in lessons. However, having a second look at it reveal the secret, that it contains not only the portion common to us, but also other portions not so common. To dig out these treasures, we need to explore the resources we have.
Hope you like this little sharing.
