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.

 

Bear Went Over the Mountain

The bear went over the mountain, the bear went over the mountain,
The bear went over the mountain, to see what he could see.
To see what he could see, to see what he could see,
The bear went over the mountain, the bear went over the mountain,
The bear went over the mountain, to see what he could see.

The other side of the mountain, the other side of the mountain,
The other side of the mountain, was all that he could see.

 

Are You Sleepy [tune: "Are You Sleeping"]

Are you sleepy, are you sleepy, 
Big brown bear, big brown bear?
Wintertime is coming, Wintertime is coming, 
Very soon, very soon.

Find a snug cave, find a snug cave,
Big brown bear, big brown bear. 
Wintertime is here now, wintertime is here now,
Go to sleep, go to sleep.

Time to wake up, time to wake up,
Big brown bear, big brown bear.
Springtime is upon us, Springtime is upon us,
Wake up now, Wake up now.

 

Three Little Bear Cubs   [Tune: "Five Little Ducks"]

Three little bears went out to play, 
Over the hill and far away.
They rolled and tumbled in the grass so sweet,
They sniffed all around for some honey to eat.
Then three little bears heard their Mama call.
So they ran back home,
and that is all.
 

 

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.

                                  Hope to see you at our next Antioch Preschool Storytime!
