Here are the rhymes and songs from today:
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.
Bubble Bath by Rob Reid
Bubbly, bubbly bubble bath, (Wiggle all ten fingers)
Filled to the top (Raise fingers overhead)
Listen to the bubbly bubbles, (Cup hand to ear)
Pop! Pop! Pop! (Clap three times)
After a Bath
After a bath, I try, try, try
To wipe myself till I'm dry, dry, dry.
Hands to wipe, and fingers and toes,
and two wet legs and a shiny nose.
Just think how much less time I'd take
If I was a dog, and could shake, shake, shake!
This is the Way We Wash [tune: "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush" ]
This is the way we wash our hands,
wash our hands, wash our hands,
This is the way we wash our hands
Just before bedtime.
This is the way we wash our face....
This is the way we wash our hair...
This is the way we scrub our back...
This is the way we splash around ....
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.
