Welcome To Storytime! [tune: Twinkle, Twinkle]
Welcome, welcome everyone,
Now we're here, let's have some fun.
First we'll sing the ABC's,
then we'll read and sing with me.
Welcome, welcome, everyone,
Now we're here let's have some fun.
Apple Dance [Tune: "Mulberry Bush" ]
This is the way the apples hang, (Hold arms up over head)
the apples hang, The Apples hang
This is the way the apples hang,
Up high in the tree.This is the way the apples drop, (Hit the floor with your fists)
The apples drop, the apples drop,
This is the way the apples drop,
Down to the ground.This is the way the apples spin, (Roll hands or spin entire body)
The apples spin, the apples spin,
This is the way the apples spin,
Around on their stem.This is the way the apples rock, (Rock from side to side)
Apples rock, apples rock,
This is the way the apples rock,
Back and forth in the basket.
Have You Ever Had an Apple [Tune: "Have You Ever Seen a Lassie" ]
Have you ever had an apple, an apple, an apple?
Have you ever had an apple and heard it go crunch?Have you ever had some cider, some cider, some cider?
Have you ever had some cider and heard it go slurp?
The Apple Tree
Way up high in the apple tree,
Five little apples smiled down at me.
I shook that tree as hard as I could,
and down came an apple,
Mmmm, mmmmm, good!Way up high in the apple tree,
Four little apples smiled down at me....
Three little apples smiled down at me...
Two little apples smiled down at me...
One little apple smiled down at me...Way up high in the apple tree,
No more apples left to see.
The More We Read Together [Tune: The More We Get Together]
The more we read together, together, together,
The more we read together, the better it is!
'Cause reading and singing and talking together,
Is how you learn the six skills for reading by six.
Hope to see you at our next Antioch Preschool Storytime!
