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,

Welcome, welcome, everyone,
Now we're here let's have some fun.

 

Little Red Hen  

The little red hen was going for a walk
That’s when she saw some wheat near a rock
She picked it up, dusted it clean saying,
“This is even better than a lima bean.”

Refrain:
The little duck said, "Not I, quack, quack."
The little pig said, "Not I, oink, oink."
The little cat said, "Not I, meow, meow."
So the little red hen said, "I'll do it somehow."
She didn't complain, and she didn't moan,
The little red hen did it all alone.

It’s time to cut the wheat and take it to the mill
They’ll grind it into flour way up on the hill
Then carry it home, a sack or two
Does anybody out there want to help me out? ~ Refrain~

To bake some bread, an egg or two,
Use the flour from the wheat that we grew
Put it in the oven and wait till it’s done
Does anybody out there want to help me out? ~ Refrain~

Now that the bread is ready to eat,
I’m glad that I found that little bit of wheat.
It’s time to sit down and enjoy this feast
Does anybody out there want to help me out?

The little duck said, “I do, quack, quack!”
The little pig said, “I do, oink, oink!”
The little cat said, “I do, meow, meow!”
But the little hen said, “I’ll do it somehow.”
She didn’t complain, and she didn’t moan
The little red hen ate it all alone.

A-Tisket, A-Tasket, Ridinghood's Basket

A-tisket a-tasket, Red Ridinghood’s basket

She made a sandwich for my gran,

but on the way she dropped it.

She dropped it, she dropped it,

on the way she dropped it.

A wolf was hiding in a ditch

and gobbled up that sandwich.

 

Three Little Ducks

Three little ducks, that I once knew, Fat ones, skinny ones, fair ones too.
But the one little duck with the feather on his back.
He led the others, with a quack, quack, quack.
Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack.
He led the others with a quack, quack , quack.

Down to the river, they would go,
Wibble, wobble, wibble, wobble, to and fro
But the one little duck with the feather on his back….

Back from the river they would come,
Wibble, wobble, wibble, wobble, to and fro
But the one little duck with the feather on his back…

 

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.
