I Went to Visit a Farm One Day is perhaps the easiest song to sing about farms with preschoolers. It doesn’t require any actions or dancing, just a full and enthusiastic repertoire of farmyard noises! It always goes down very well with puppets which can vary from homemade sock puppets to paper finger puppets. That said, children really aren’t too fussy about having lavish props and are always only too happy to make up for any shortcomings by using their imaginations.
I Went to Visit a Farm One Day
I went to visit a farm one day,
I saw a pig across the way,
And what do you think I heard it say?
Oink, Oink, Oink!

I went to visit a farm one day,
I saw a sheep across the way,
And what do you think I heard it say?
Baa, Baa, Baa!
(Change the animal and it’s sound for each verse)
Most kids have a collection of toy animals that might come with a farm house and a tractor or two. I Went to Visit a Farm One Day is a great song to sing as you set up a farm scene. You can add each animal and demonstrate their different sounds as you go. You might like to follow up your farm themed activities by going off to visit the real thing if you have somewhere suitable nearby, or making some lovely collages and paintings of animals to stick up on the fridge!

Hi. I would like to print this sheet (I went to visit a farm), but there is no link attached to the picture like the others I have managed to print. Thanks for making these available.
Hi Marianne, I’ve just updated that post and the link is now working – hopefully you should be able to print it now.
I love this song for storytime, do you happen to know where I can find ukulele chords? I’ve checked on different sites and couldn’t find anything. I was even surpised there were no guitar accompaniment.
Thanks for your comment Kascia 🙂 I’m afraid not – i’m not a guitarist or a ukulele player myself so i’m not too familiar with the online resources available for them. I’ll share your question over on the Facebook page to see if anyone in the community knows. Hope this helps!
I just love all of your posts and ideas! Thank you so much for linking up to Discover & Explore this week. Your site is such a wonderful resource!
