Activity: Sing "There Was a Child" to the tune of "There Was a Man" There was a child who had a duck and he traded it for a pickup truck. The pickup truck, it moved too slow, so he traded it for some play dough. The play dough, it got so hard, so he traded it for a big red car. The big red car, it went too quick, so he traded it for some pic-up-sticks. The pic-up-sticks, they were too small, so he traded them for a baby doll. The baby doll, it had no hat, so he traded it for a furry cat.
