Welcome To Storytime! [tune: Twinkle, Twinkle]
Welcome, welcome everyone,

Welcome, welcome, everyone,
Now we're here let's have some fun.
Five Pigs So Squeaky Clean [Tune: Five Green and Speckled Frogs ]
Five pigs so squeaky clean
Cleanest you’ve ever seen
Wanted to go outside and play
Oink! Oink!One jumped into the mud
Landed with a great big thud
Then there were four clean squeaky pigs.

I'm a Little Piggy [Tune: I'm a Little Teapot ]
I’m a little piggy, Short and stout
Here are my ears (point to ears)
And here is my snout (point to nose)When I see the yummy food in my pail
(put hand up over eyes like you are looking)
I oink, oink oink and wiggle my tail.
(wiggle your piggy tails!)~ ~ ~ credit: Verona Storytime
The Tail of a Pig [Tune: Wheels on the Bus ]
The tail of a pig curls round and round
round and round, round and round.
The tail of a pig curls round and round
All through the mud.
(circle finger round and round)The mouth of a pig goes oink, oink, oink
oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink
The mouth of a pig goes oink, oink, oink
All through the mud.
(Put hand in front of mouth like a snout and “oink”!)The trotters of a pig go run, run, run
run, run, run, run, run, run.
The hooves of pig go run, run, run
All through the mud.
(Pretend like you are running)The ears of a pig go twitch, twitch, twitch
twitch, twitch, twitch, twitch, twitch, twitch.
The ears of a pig go twitch, twitch, twitch
All through the mud.
(Put hands up by ears and wiggle them back and forth)~ ~ ~ credit: Storytime Lady
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.
