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 Bunny-Pokey [Tune: Hokey-Pokey]
You put your bunny ears in, You put your bunny ears out,
You put your bunny ears in and you wiggle all about.
You do the bunny-pokey, and you hop yourself around,
That's what it's all about! You put your bunny nose in....
You put your bunny tail in...
You put your bunny foot in...
You put your whole self in...
Did You Ever See a Bunny [Tune: Did you ever see a Lassie]
Did you ever see a bunny, a bunny, a bunny,
Did you ever see a bunny, munching his lunch?
He munches and crunches, and munches and crunches.
Did you ever see a bunny, munching his lunch?
Did you ever see a bunny, a bunny, a bunny,
Did you ever see a bunny, flap his big ears?
He flips them and flaps them and flips them and flaps them.
Did you ever see a bunny, flap his big ears?
Did you ever see a bunny, a bunny, a bunny, did you ever see a bunny, hop down the lane?
He hips and he hops and he hips and he hops. Did you ever see a bunny, hop down the lane?
I'm a Little Bunny [tune: I'm a Little Teapot]
I'm a little bunny, with a cotton tail;
See me hopping down the trail.
When I see a carrot - My ears - they shake!
and then, of course, a bit I take! Crunch!!!!
10 Little Bunnies
1 little, 2 little, 3 little bunnies,
4 little, 5 little, 6 little bunnies,
7 little, 8 little, 9 little bunnies,
10 little bunnies hopping up and down.Additional verses: ...twirling round and round. ...bouncing on 1 foot.
Funny Bunny Hop
Funny, little bunny goes hop, hop, hop!
Funny little bunny please stop, stop, stop!
Wiggle your ears and crinkle your nose.
Then wiggle, wiggle, wiggle right down to your toes.
Hop, Hop, Hop [Tune: "Ten Little Indians"]
Hop, hop, hop, hop, like a rabbit,
Hop, hop, hop, hop, like a rabbit.
Hop, hop, hop, hop, like a rabbit,
All around the meadow.
Little Peter Rabbit
Little Peter Rabbit has a fly upon his nose.
Little Peter Rabbit has a fly upon his nose.
Little Peter Rabbit has a fly upon his nose,
and he flicked it 'til it flew away!
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.
