Flannelboard – “A-Hunting We Will Go” (traditional rhyming
song)
A hunting we will go, a hunting we will go.
We’ll catch a mouse and put him in a house.
And then we’ll let him go.
A hunting we will go, a hunting we will go.
We’ll catch a frog and put her on a log.
And then we’ll let her go.
A hunting we will go, a hunting we will go.
We’ll catch a goat and put him in a boat.
And then we’ll let him go.
A hunting we will go, a hunting we will go.
We’ll catch a bear and put him in a chair.
And then we’ll let him go.
A hunting we will go, a hunting we will go.
We’ll catch a fox and put her in a box.
And then we’ll let her go.
