"Sheep Dog and Sheep Sheep" by Eric Barclay


"Sheep is an expert at protecting sheep — or so she thinks until one happy afternoon when she bumps into a very hairy someone on the farm.


'Who are you?' she asks.


'I’m the sheep dog!' the someone says. 'I watch the sheep.'


Holy begonia! Sheep knows this can’t be right. After all, she’s the pro! So Sheep goes off to get everything Sheep Dog needs to get the job done, but each time she goes, something almost happens to Sheep…


And it's Sheep Dog who saves the day!"

BOUNCE RHYME (bounce along with child in lap)


One Little Sheep Dog

One little sheep dog went out one day,

To watch the sheep all play, play, play.

He saw a sheep and bounced away

Jumping after them all day!


...he saw two sheep...

...he saw three sheep...

...he saw four sheep...

...he saw five sheep...

Little lamb, little lamb, turn around

(turn around)

Little lamb, little lamb, touch the ground

(touch ground with hands)

Little lamb, little lamb, jump up high

Little lamb, little lamb, reach the sky

Little lamb, little lamb, sit right down

Little lamb, little lamb, get ready to listen now

Counting Lambs

One little wooly lamb with a coat so new,

Along comes another lamb, and that makes two.

Two little wooly lambs roaming so free,

Along comes another lamb, and that makes three.

Three little wooly lambs by the barn door,

Along comes another lamb, and that makes four.

Four little wooly lambs so glad to be alive,

Along comes another lamb, and that makes five.

Five little wooly lambs having so much fun,

Together now, let’s count them one by one.

1-2-3-4-5.



Dancing Sheep

Shhh! It’s time to go to sleep

(put finger to mouth, pretend to sleep)

But into my bedroom one sheep creeps.

(creep fingers)


“Don’t go to bed,” the one sheep said.

“I would rather dance instead!”


Soon he waaaaaas…

(draw these words out)

Dancing on the ceiling!

(move hands above head in “dancing” motion)

He was dancing on the floor!

(move hands on floor as mentioned above)

He was dancing on the window!

(move hands to one side)

He was dancing on the door!

(move hands to other side)


He kept on…


Dancing on the ceiling!

(sing faster)

He was dancing on the floor!

He was dancing on the window!

He was dancing on the door!


“Stop that dancing, silly sheep.

It is time to go to sleep!”

Soon the sheep lay on the floor.

Soon the sheep began to snore.


So I staaaaarted …

(draw these words out)

Dancing on the ceiling!

I was dancing on the floor!

I was dancing on the window!

I was dancing on the door!
