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.
Take Me Out of the Bathtub by Alan Katz [tune: Take Me Out to the Ballgame ]
Take me out of the bathtub,
Take me out of the suds,
I've been here soaking since half past two,
I feel so sudsy and wrinkle-y too!Oh, I washed all over my body,
My head, my toes, in between,
I used one, two, three bars of soap...
Take me out, I'm Clean!!
Five Little Piggies
Five little piggies, rolling in the mud.
Squishy, squashy, squishy, squashy
Oh what fun!Along came the farmer and took one to the tub,
And that left 4 little piggies rolling in the mud. .... ETC
Five Elephants in a Bathtub
One elephant in the bathtub, going for a swim.
KNOCK, KNOCK, SPLASH, SPLASH
Come on in! (Motion with both hands to come in)
Two elephants in the bathtub.... etc...etc... They all jumped in!
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.
