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.

 

I Went to the Jungle One Day [Tune: "London Bridge" ]

I went to the jungle one day, jungle one day, jungle one day.
I saw a monkey on the way and this is what he said," 0h-oh-oh-oh-oh."
I went to the jungle one day, jungle one day, jungle one day,
I saw a lion on the way and this is what he said, "Roar"
I went to the jungle one day, jungle one day, jungle one day,
I saw a snake on the way and this is what he said, "Hiss."
 

Three Little Monkeys 

Three little monkeys, swinging on a tree,
Teasing Mr. Alligator,
"Can't catch me! Can't catch me!"
Along came Mr. Alligator
Ugly as can be... SNAP!
Now there's only two little monkeys swinging on a tree. ETC

 

Animals in the Jungle [Tune: "Wheels on the Bus" ]
 

The parrots in the jungle say, "Squawk, Squawk, Squawk"
"Squawk, Squawk, Squawk", "Squawk, Squawk, Squawk"
The parrots in the jungle say, "Squawk, Squawk, Squawk"
All day long.

The monkeys in the jungle say, "Oooh, oooh, oooh"
"Oooh, oooh, oooh", "Oooh, oooh, oooh"
The monkeys in the jungle say, "Oooh, oooh, oooh"
​All day long.

The tigers in the jungle say, "Grrrrr, Grrrr, Grrrr"
"Grrrrr, Grrrr, Grrrr", "Grrrrr, Grrrr, Grrrr"
The tigers in the jungle say, "Grrrrr, Grrrr, Grrrr"
​All day long.

 

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!
