Play Ideas for Little Roosters
In a wake-up game, everyone pretends to sleep until the rooster crows cock-a-doodle-doo, then all jump up. For a pecking game, roosters pick up paper scraps from the floor like grain. Act out The Town Musicians of Bremen, where the rooster perches at the very top of the animal tower. Then fill the barnyard with a noisy clucking and crowing contest.
Fun Facts About Roosters
A rooster is a male chicken, and you can spot him by his big comb and wattles. Roosters are famous for crowing early in the morning, but they crow during the day too. A rooster keeps an eye on the hens and calls out a warning when danger is near. Many roosters have long, shiny tail feathers. In the fairy tale The Town Musicians of Bremen, the rooster sits at the very top of the donkey, dog, and cat.
