I learned old macdonald had a farm as a series in a memory song ...

My grand daughter sang it for pre-K graduation and each animal was in its own separate verse, rather than a series (like the twelve days of Christmas)

I went looking and youtube is loaded with separate verses and not as a series ....

Was I the only one that learned old macdonald as a series song ?

You must have had classmates to learned it that way, so I suspect the answer to your question is, “No!”

I learned it as a series song in elementary school.

It appears your memory has held up.

I think it properly IS a series song, but I’m thinking they did it the other way to make it a quicker, easier song, for the audience as well as the kids.

My grandson has a little finger puppet, like a glove, with a book with the words sewn in the palm and an animal at the end of each finger, very cute.

Congrats to your grand daughter and good luck to her in 1st grade!

I'm more suspicious and cynical

I think it's just one of those bricks in the wall to keep a child's mind from ever gaining good health

What is a more mentally exacting .... remembering a single animal, or a long string of animals ?
