Little Chameleon's Color Game
Little Chameleon let's play a game today
Change your color to match the things that I say!Fluffy clouds in the sky, cotton balls, a polar bear,
Sometimes this is the color of people's hair. (White)The sun and a lemon, sunflowers too,
Squash and bananas to name a few! (Yellow)The great big ocean, the big, high sky,
Yummy berries to put in a pie! (Blue)The grass and frogs, a small snake that slithers by,
Peas and broccoli, my, oh my! (Green)Pretty flowers, cotton candy, a little bunny nose,
Cute baby pigs and tiny baby toes! (Pink)Three things I can think of that are this beautiful hue,
Some pansies, sweet grapes and eggplants too! (Purple)Now try this color of leaves in the fall,
Pumpkins and carrots and a basketball! (Orange)We like this color when it's chocolate to eat,
dirt in the garden or wood for a seat. (Brown)This color is dark, the opposite of white.
You'll see this color when you turn off the light! (Black)Roses and cherries, a Valentine's heart;
Yummy strawberries baked in a tart! (Red)Little Chameleon now it's time for you to rest.
You've changed to all the colors that we like the best!

Colorful Kittens
Six little kittens found a box of paint.
They jumped right in... Their mother will faint!
The first little kitten came out red.
"I'll be orange!" the second one said.
The third little kitten turned bright yellow.
"I'll be green," said the next little fellow.
The fifth kitten said, "My favorite is blue."
"Purple for me," said the sixth with a mew.
Dancing home the little kittens go,
To show their mother a kitten rainbow!
Mama cat said, "You're the most colorful kittens that I've ever seen!"
Then one...by one...by one...by one...by one...by one...
She licked them all clean!credit: https://thelionisabookworm.blogspot.com/2014/11/storytime-cats.html
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!
