Here are the rhymes and songs from today:

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.

 

Baby Chick [tune: "Frère Jacques" ]

Are you in there, are you in there,
Baby Chick, Baby Chick?
When I get real close,
I think that I can hear a
Click-click-click, click-click-click.

Daddy, Daddy, come here quickly!
Help me check, help me check,
Do you hear what I hear?
Do you hear what I hear?
Peck-peck-peck, peck-peck-peck.

Breaking out now, very slowly,
First a head, then a beak
What’s that game you’re playing?
What’s that game you’re playing?
Hide and seek, hide and seek.

 

I Know a Cat [tune: "Bingo" ]

I know a cat with perky ears, and Kitty is her name-o.
K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y and Kitty is her name-o.
She makes a sound and it's meow,and Kitty is her name-o.
K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y and Kitty is her name-o.

 

Five Little Ponies

5 little ponies in the pasture did play.
One ran up to the old barn door, and that left only four.
4 little ponies in the pasture today,
Another galloped off to the big apple tree, and that left only three.
3 little ponies in the pasture did play,
One left to pull a wagon to the zoo, and that left only two.
2 little ponies in the pasture today,
one laid down for a nap in the sun, and that left only one.
1 little pony in the pasture did play, he got lonely,
so off to find the others he did run, and that left none.

 

Old MacDonald Had a Farm

Old MacDonald had a farm. E-I-E-I-O
and on that farm he had a horse. E-I-E-I-O
With a neigh, neigh here and a neigh, neigh there.
Here a neigh, there a neigh, everywhere a neigh, neigh.
Old MacDonald had a farm. E-I-E-I-O ...
