The pig flew up in the air!
The man in brown

Dickery Dickery Dare.
Pig YogaI started the program by doing some yoga inspired by these yoga pig cards I made.
Color RecognitionI would say the rhyme and when I got to “The man in _______” I would pull out a different colored man an the kids had to tell me what color the man was.
Action RhymeI handed out pigs on a popsicle stick. We repeated the rhyme but had the kids “fly” their pigs.
ParachuteI busted out the parachute and threw a stuffed pig on the parachute. I had the kids try to make the pig flew up in the air.
