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.
“Dance Your Fingers”
Dance your fingers up,
Dance your fingers down,
Dance your fingers side to side,
Then dance them all around.
Dance them on your shoulders,
Dance them on your head,
Dance them on your knees,
Then put them straight to bed.
This Is the Way We Yawn & Stretch [tune:"Mulberry Bush" ]
This is the way we yawn and stretch,
Yawn and stretch, yawn and stretch.
This is the way we yawn and stretch,
On our way to bed.This is the way we take a bath…
This is the way we read a book…
This is the way we hug and kiss…
This is the way we close our eyes…
Five in the Bed [tune: "Ten in the Bed" ]
There were five in the bed and the little one said, "Roll over, roll over."
So they all rolled over and one fell out, there were four in the bed,
and the little one said, "Roll over, roll over."
So they all rolled over and one fell out, there were three in the bed,
and the little one said, "Roll over, roll over."
So they all rolled over and one fell out, there were two in the bed,
and the little one said, "Roll over, roll over."
So they all rolled over and one fell out, there were one in the bed,
and the little one said, "I got the whole bed to myself, I got the whole big bed to myself,
I got the whole bed to myself, I've got the whole bed to myself."
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!
