Flannelboard: Berries

If I come up with more rhymes and songs to go with this flannel set, the post will be edited to reflect that. If you have other ideas for ways to use this set, please share!

Flannelboard



I used this flannelboard for my berry storytime. However, with the exception of blueberries, none of these fruits are actually berries by they botanical definition. Given that all of them except cherries have "berry" in the name though, I just went with it and added the cherry because I needed a fifth fruit and cherries are similar in shape and size to many berries. 

Rhymes, Songs, Games, and Fingerplays

“Down in the Market”

(Tune: Down Around the Corner)

Down in the market at the end of the street,
There are five ripe berries, so juicy and sweet.
Along comes a shopper with a nickel to pay.
She buys the cherry and takes it away!

Down in the market at the end of the street,
There are four ripe berries, so juicy and sweet.
Along comes a shopper with a nickel to pay.
He buys the raspberry and takes it away!

Down in the market at the end of the street,
There are three ripe berries, so juicy and sweet.
Along comes a shopper with a nickel to pay.
She buys the strawberry and takes it away!

Down in the market at the end of the street,
There are two ripe berries, so juicy and sweet.
Along comes a shopper with a nickel to pay.
He buys the blueberry and takes it away!

Down in the market at the end of the street,
There is one ripe berry, so juicy and sweet.
Along comes a shopper with a nickel to pay.
She buys the blackberry and takes it away!
