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.

 

Let's Be Friends With One Another  

Let's be friends with one another (sing 3 times)
Let's be friends today

You can sing with a friend,
you can howl with a friend,
you can hum with a friend,
let's be friends today!

You can jump with a friend
you can clap with a friend
you can spin with a friend
let's be friends today.

Let's be friends with one another (sing 3 times)
Let's be friends today.

 

If Your Friendly and You Know It [ tune: If Your Happy & You Know It ]

If your friendly and you know it, clap your hands.
If your friendly and you know it, clap your hands.
If your friendly and you know it, and you really want to show it,
If your friendly and you know it, clap your hands.

 

Friend of Mine [ tune: Mary had a Little Lamb ]

Will you be a friend of mine, friend of mine, friend of mine?
Will you be a friend of mine and sing along with me? [repeat]
Will you be a friend of mine, friend of mine, friend of mine?
Will you be a friend of mine and clap along with me?  [repeat]

 

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.
