Welcome To Storytime! [tune: Twinkle, Twinkle]

Welcome, welcome everyone,

Welcome, welcome, everyone,
Now we're here let's have some fun.

 

Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed [Tune: "Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed" ]

Five little monkeys jumping on the bed.
On fell off and bumped his head.
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said,
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"

Four little monkeys.... etc

This is the Way we Yawn and 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 

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".... etc
So they all rolled over and one fell out, there was one in the bed
and the little one said,
"I got the whole bed to myself, I got the whole big 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!
