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 Solar System in Motion
The Earth turns around, the Earth turns around,
Once a day, every day, the Earth turns around.
The moon goes round the Earth, The moon goes round the Earth,
Once a month, every month, The moon goes round the Earth.
The Earth goes round the Sun, the Earth goes round the Sun,
Once a year, every year, The Earth goes round the Sun.
The stars are all around, The stars are all around,
Here to there, and everywhere, The stars are all around.
Solar System [tune: Twinkle, Twinkle]
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, Oh so bright and oh so far.
In the sky, a tiny dot. Glowing gas that's very hot!
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, Oh so bright and oh so far.
Beaming, beaming, gleaming moon, Like a giant white balloon,
Round and round the Earth you spin,
Through the month, new shapes you're in.
Beaming, beaming, gleaming moon, Like a giant white balloon.
Glowing, glowing, red-hot sun. Shining light on everyone.
Earth goes round you once a year.
You're a star with atmosphere!
Glowing, glowing, red-hot sun,
Shining light on everyone.
Moon Ride
Do you want to go up with me to the moon?
Let's get in our rocket ship and blast off soon! [Pretend to climb in, then swich hands quickly]
Faster and faster we reach to the sky. [Jump and reach]
Isn't it fun to be able to fly.
We're on the moon, now all take a look [Look down]
Sit back down, and I'll read you a book. [all sit down]
Five Flying Saucer Men
Five flying saucer men, came out the spaceship door,
One did a somersault, then there were four.
Four flying saucer men, as odd as they could be, One fell backward, and then there were three.
Three flying saucer men, with skin of green and blue, One rode on a space monster, and then there were two.
Two flying saucer men, were having such fun. One beamed up and then there was one.
One flying saucer man on Earth all alone, He missed all his buddies, so he went on home!
Home, Home, on the Solar System by Joanne O'Leary [Tune: Home, Home on the Range]
Oh give me a home, where the planets do roam, Where the comets and asteroids play.
Where seldom is seen, a a human being, And the stars twinkle all night and day.
Home, home on the solar system, Where the comets and the asteroids play,
Where seldom is seen, a human being, And the stars twinkle, all night and day.
I'm Being Eaten by a Space Invader
I'm being eaten by a space invader! I'm being eaten by a space invader!
I'm being eaten by a space invader! And I don't like it very much!
Oh no, he's eaten my toe! Oh gee, he's eaten my knee!
Oh fiddle, he's eaten my middle! Oh heck, he's eaten my neck!
Oh dread, he's eaten my .... Gulp!!!
Hey Diddle Diddle
Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon.
The little dog laughed to see such sport,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.
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.
