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.

 

Birthday Months 

If your birthday is in January, turn around.
If your birthday is in February, touch the ground.
If your birthday is in March, march around the room.
... April, sing a tune.
... May, wiggle your nose.
... June, wiggle your toes.
... July, jump up high.
... August, reach for the sky.
... September, tap your shoe.
... October, call out "Boo!"
... November, tickle your ears.
... December, give three cheers.

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

 

5 Birthday Candles

Five birthday candles, wish there were more.
Blew out one, then there were four.

Four birthday candles, pretty as can be.
Blow one out, then there are three.

Three birthday candles, Hope my wish comes true.
Blow one out, then there are two.

Two birthday candles, Birthday cakes are fun.
Blow one out, then there is one.

One birthday candle, the party's almost done.
Blow out one, then there are none.

 

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!
