Oat&Beans&Barley Grow: Favourite Farm Songs

Oats and beans and barley grow,

Oats and beans and barley grow,

Do you or I, or nobody knows how 

Oats and beans or barley grow!

*

First the farmer sows his seed,

Then he stands and takes his ease,

Stamps his feet and claps his hands,

And turns around to view the land!

Let's Play Music: Oats & Beans & Barley Grow - kids action song and circle game

  • One child is chosen to be the farmer, and everyone else holds hands and sings the first verse, going round the farmer.
  • On the second verse; the farmer bends down and pretends to plant a seed, then stands up with hands on hips, stamps his feet and claps his hands, and then turns around on one foot, while placing one hand over the eyes as if looking far away.
  • Once he has completed the actions, he chooses the next farmer, swaps places with him and joins the circle. The song is then repeated to give everyone a go at being farmer.
  • If the children are a little younger, everyone can do the actions together at the same time.
