There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly

There Was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Fly is a great picture song book that kids love. Kids enjoy watching the lady swallow increasingly bigger and more ridiculous animals until she finally…., well, dies.

It’s perfect for practising colours, farm animals and pets and learning chunks such as, ‘I don’t know why’ and ‘there was a’. It can also help in internalising relative clause structures.
