Page 20 - Miss Jane's Children

[24] There Was an Old Woman
Traditional/Adapted

There was an old woman
Who lived in a shoe
She had so many children
She didn’t know what to do.
She gave them some broth without any bread
And she hugged them all gently
And sent them to bed.

There was a young woman,
They all called her Mom,
She had such lively children,
Good thing she was strong!
She took them each day for a treat at the store,
But she firmly said, “No”
When they asked her for more.

There once was a lady,
They called her Miss Jane
She had so many students,
But she couldn’t complain.
She taught them a poem, and she sang them a song,
Then she blew them all kisses
And sent them along.

Rocking Song: Rock with the child in your lap, on your back, or
facing you “rowboat” style. Make up your own verse about your
family using your children’s names.
