Shopping Song
A shopping we will go, a shopping we will go.
We will buy some vegetables, a shopping we will go.
A shopping we will go, a shopping we will go,
We will buy some cinnamon buns, a shopping we will go.
A shopping we will go, a shopping we will go.
We will buy some wonderful snacks, a shopping we will go.

Buying Ice Cream
Five big ice creams, sitting in the shop
With chocolate sauce and a cherry on top
Along came a
lion with a penny to pay
He bought an ice cream and ate it right away!

Along came a
mouse with a penny to pay
He bought an ice cream and ate it right away!

Along came a

He bought an ice cream and ate it right away!

After reading
Sheep in a Shop we sing:
Baa baa black sheep
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir,
Three bags full.
One for the master
One for the dame
And one for the little boy
who lives down the lane.
Baa baa white sheep
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir
Three needles full.
One to mend a jumper
One to mend a frock
And one for the little girl
With holes in her socks.
Baa baa grey sheep
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir
Three bags full.
One for the kitten
One for the cats
And one for the guinea pigs
To knit some woolly hats.
