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.
The Water Cycle Song by Candace Lindemann [Tune: "The Wheels on the Bus" ]
The sun in the sky (make a big round sun with your arms)
Heats up the ground, heats up the ground, heats up the ground.
The sun in the sky, heats up the ground and starts the water cycle.The water on the ground evaporates up (raise your hands up)
Evaporates up, evaporates up
The water on the ground evaporates up and turn into a gas.The vapor in the clouds condenses (squeeze your hands closed)
Condenses, Condenses,
The vapor in the clouds condenses and becomes a liquid again.The droplets in the clouds precipitate down (make a raining motion with your fingers)
Precipitate down, precipitate down,
The droplets in the clouds precipitate down and we call it rain.The water cycle goes round and round (circle your hands)
goes round and round, goes round and round
The water cycle goes round and round and it all begins again.
Rain is Falling on You [Tune: "Happy Birthday" ]
Rain is falling on you,
Rain is falling on me,
Rain is falling on everyone,
Rain is falling, Yippeeee!!!
Pitter Patter Rain Drops [Tune: "I'm a Little Teapot" ]
Pitter patter rain drops (Wiggle fingers to imitate rain)
Falling from the sky (Wiggle fingers downward)
Here's my umbrella (Pretend to open umbrella)
Hold it High! (Hands over head)
When the rain is over and the sun begins to glow (Make sun with arms)
Little flowers start to bud (Kneel down)
Then grow, grow, grow (Slowly stand up)
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!
