I’m a little chicken,

I cluck all day,

Out in the barnyard,

I scratch and play,

I LOVE to eat seeds,

and I LOVE to eat grain,

I’m a little chicken,

I cluck all day.

Hey Little Chicken ,

Clucking in the yard,

Pecking at the seed,

the ground is very hard,

All around the barnyard,

You scratch and cluck and play,

Busy little chicken,

it’s time to end your day.

5 Baby Chicks Song (Counting & Subtraction Song)

(Tune: Five Little Ducks)
Five baby chicks went out one day,
Over the hills and far away.
Mother Hen called with a “Cluck, cluck, cluck,”
But only four baby chicks came back!
Four baby chicks went out one day,
Over the hills and far away.
Mother Hen called with a “Cluck, cluck, cluck,”
But only three baby chicks came back!
Three baby chicks went out one day,
Over the hills and far away.
Mother Hen called with a “Cluck, cluck, cluck,”
But only two baby chicks came back!
Two baby chicks went out one day,
Over the hills and far away.
Mother Hen called with a “Cluck, cluck, cluck,”
But only one baby chick came back!
One baby chick went out one day,
Over the hills and far away.
Mother Hen called with a “Cluck, cluck, cluck,”
And all five baby chicks came running right back!

Movement Tip: Have kids hold up five fingers and fold one down each time a chick doesn’t return, then flap their wings excitedly when all five return at the end.

 

I’m a Little Chick Song (action & growth)

(Tune: I’m a Little Teapot)
I’m a little chick, small and round,
Hatching from my egg down on the ground.
When I break my shell, I take a peek,
I flap my wings and go “Peep, peep, peep!”
I look for my mama in the barnyard grass,
Watching all the big cows walking past.
I scratch for some seeds with my little feet,
Looking for a yummy yellow corn treat!
  • Movement Tip: Have kids start curled up tight like an egg. On “break my shell,” they can pop up, flap their arms like tiny wings, and make peeping sounds.
 

 I Had a Silly Chicken (by The Kiboomers)

I had a little chicken, she couldn’t lay an egg,
Then she found some hot water and drank it to the dregs.
The little chicken hollered, she balanced on one leg,
My silly little chicken laid a hard-boiled egg!
