Tell the Ox and Fox story and then sing the Letter X song.
Ox and Fox lived in a field. The field didn’t have many trees, and there weren’t any
good places to hide when it rained. One day there was a big windstorm and a very big box blew into the field.
“Oh,” thought the fox. “This would be a very good house for me.” The fox ran to the box and jumped in. It was nice and dry in the box.
Unfortunately, Ox thought that the box looked nice and dry. Ox decided that he wanted to go inside the box too. The fox fit quite well in the box, but Ox did not. The box was squished and so was the fox. “Ow!” said the fox. The fox hurt his paw and had to go to the animal hospital for an X-ray. The next time that Ox wants to climb into a box, he was going to have to be extra careful!
Sing and do the movements.
