Let's sing like different kinds of sheep!
Sing 'Baa Baa Black Sheep' in a sheep voice. You might be a baby lamb or an old sheep.
Say the rhythm instead of singing it (like a teenager sheep using a rap voice)?
Make an ostinato (repeated pattern) with body percussion. You could tap your thighs and clap while you sing the rhyme.
Let's mime! This is when we act something out without speaking.
Have a go at miming:
The man asking for wool.
The sheep saying 'I have 3 bags of wool' (for my master, the dame and the little boy).
Carrying the different size bags – heavy, medium and light.
