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.

 

Old MacDonald [tune:"Old MacDonald"]

Old MacDonald had a farm, E - I - E - I - O
And on his farm he had a chick, E - I - E - I - O
With a "peep-peep" here and a "peep-peep" there
Here a "peep" there a "peep", everywhere a "peep-peep"

Old MacDonald had a farm, E - I - E - I - O.

 

Five Little Raccoons  

One little raccoon looking for things to do,
along came another and then there were two.
Two curious raccoons trying so hard to see,
Along came another and then there were three.

Three clever raccoons trying to open the door,
Along came another and then there were four.
Four happy raccoons glad to be alive,
Along came another and then there were five.

Five little raccoons as tired as can be,
looked up for a place to rest
and scurried up the tree.

 

Five in the Bed  

There were five in the bed and the little one said, "Roll over, Roll over."
So they all rolled over and one fell out there were four in the bed,
and the little one said, "Roll over, Roll over."
So they all rolled over and one fell out there were three in the bed,

and the little one said, "Roll over, Roll over."
So they all rolled over and one fell out there were two in the bed,
and the little one said, "Roll over, Roll over."
So they all rolled over and one fell out there were one in the bed,

and the little one said, "I got the whole bed, to myself,
I got the whole big bed, to myself. I got the whole bed, to myself,
I got the whole bed to myself."

 

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.
