lashes2508 Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Hi All thought i would share with you something i learnt when i was a very small girl and stayed with me , have been using with playdough but helps with language, listening , rhyming ,and road safety etc make a worm with playdough - all children can join in with rolling , creating their own worm ' Ooey Gooey was a worm ' Ooey Gooey learnt to squirm Ooey gooey crossed the road - at this line squash the worm with hand or bang it flat on table OOEY GOOEY !!!! - very expressive - with digust and face to match 'Why do you think that happened?, what did ooey gooey forget to do ? etc reiterate stop, look , listen The children have loved this and the little ones have picked up the ryhme from yesterday , we did it again as a ryhme at going home time using hands and did a clap for the effect of being squashed Its fun , and engaging - stayed with me for 30 odd years !!!!

Hoolahoney Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 I think it fits quite well to "Pop goes the weasel"...

lashes2508 Posted October 20, 2012 Author Posted October 20, 2012 this is another but one my mum sang and still does - ginger nut fell in a cup and poisoned all the fishes up , a fish came up and swallowed him/her up and that was the end of gingernut ! I think it was sang to her as she was a redhead when very young - she has lots of funny and lovely sayings - and she has remembered this and she is 83 and after having 10 kids that aint half bad !! -
