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.

 

Rags 

My little puppy his name is rags,
he eats so much that his tummy drags.
Big floppy ears and a tail that wags,
and when he walks, he zig zag zags.
Flip, flop, wiggle waggle, zig zag.
When I whistle he never obeys,
He always runs the other way,
He doesn't have a pedigree; but, I love him
and he loves me.
Flip, flop, wiggle waggle, zig zag.

This Old Man 

This old man, he played one,
He played knick-knack on my thumb,
Knick-knack, paddywhack,
Give a dog a bone, 
This old man came rolling home.

This old man, he played two,
He played knick-knack on my shoe,
Knick-knack, paddywhack,
Give a dog a bone, 
This old man came rolling home.

This old man, he played three,
He played knick-knack on my knee;
Knick-knack, 
paddywhack,
Give a dog a bone, 
This old man came rolling home.

This old man, he played four,
He played knick-knack on my door;
Knick-knack, 
paddywhack,
Give a dog a bone, 
This old man came rolling home.

This old man, he played five,
He played knick-knack on a bee hive;
Knick-knack, 
paddywhack,
Give a dog a bone, 
This old man came rolling home.

This old man, he played six,
He played knick-knack on a pile of sticks,
Knick-knack, 
paddywhack,
Give a dog a bone, 
This old man came rolling home.

 

The Paws on the Dog [Tune: Wheels on the Bus]

The paws on the dog go trot, trot, trot,
Trot, trot, trot, trot, trot, trot
The paws on the dog go trot, trot, trot,
All through the town.

The ears on the dog go flop, flop, flop...

The nose on the dog goes sniff, sniff, sniff...

The tongue on the dog goes lick, lick, lick....

The bark of the dog goes, "Woof, woof, woof"....

The people with the dog go "SIT!"

 

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!
