Farmyard Jamboree leaves Old MacDonald in the dust
20 Jun 2009Farmyard Jamboree, inspired by a Chilean folktale, combines bright colorful pictures and a catchy tune that will have you and your children singing, dancing and having a blast imitating the animal sounds. Join the little boy in this book as he journeys through his farm collecting animal pets from the members of his family. This book is much more than a great sing along! It has many educational values. Your children will learn the names for the mother and the baby farm animals as well as the sounds they make. Teach your children to count by twos as the little boy adds a mommy and a baby animal to his collection of pets. Younger children will quickly learn colors by identifying them with each animal. For a cultural lesson, talk about the traditional Chilean clothes the family wears in the story. As the little boy visits each member of his family, you can share pictures of members of your own family. Discuss the cities where relatives live and the country where this tale originated and you have an instant geography lesson. Give everybody an animal sound to imitate and let the fun begin!
