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.
Poof!
Poof! I'm an elephant big in size.
Poof! I'm an owl with great big eyes.
Poof! I'm a mouse squeak, squeak, squeak.
Poof! I'm the best, I'm just me!
Magic Finger
Magic finger in the air.
Magic finger in my hair.
Magic finger on my hip.
Magic finger on my lips.
Put Your Magic Hat In [tune: "Hokey Pokey" ]
You put your magic hat in,
You put your magic hat out,
You put your magic hat in,
And you shake it all about,
You do the hokey pokey,
and you turn yourself around,
That's what it's all about!
Hat Trick by Deanna Romriell
Magic! Magic! In my hat,
I'll pull out a rabbit - Aaaaaaaa!!
What is that?!! [Pull various non-rabbit items out of the hat.]
Magic! Magic! In my hat,
I'll pull out a rabbit - See!! Look at that!!
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.
