I went to a workshop today. The presenter was Rob Reid. It was a great workshop. Lots of fun, and a bit inspiring. So, here are a few things I wrote down to share. I wrote these ditties.
Every time we do the Hokey Pokey at storytime, I tell the kids we need to stretch first. Then we do this chant with motions. I think the motions are pretty self explanatory.
Hokey Pokey Warm up
Stretch down low and touch your toes
Stretch out to the sides
And we’re ready to go!
I want to try this for an opening song. I plan to use it at my family storytime program on June 18. I wrote it at the workshop today.
Storytime is Here
(tune of Farmer in the Dell)
Storytime is here
Storytime is here
Grab your friends to join the fun
Because storytime is here
It’s time to sing some songs
It’s time to sing some songs
Grab your friends to join the fun
It’s time to sing some songs
It’s time to dance around
It’s time to dance around
Grab your friends to join the fun
It’s time to dance around
It’s time to read our books
It’s time to read our books
Grab your friends to join the fun
It’s time to read our books
It’s time to sit and listen
It’s time to sit and listen
Storytime is here again
It’s time to sit and listen
And lastly, I wrote this on my way home. (Note to self, I really need a mini recorder.) Our Summer Reading Club theme is Catch the
A Bug Story
(Cadence of Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you See?)
House Fly, House Fly, what do you see?
I see a fly swatter swatting at me
Black Ant, Black Ant, what do you see?
I see a tennis shoe stomping on me
Butterfly, Butterfly, what do you see?
I see a net coming at me
Mosquito, Mosquito, what do you see?
I see a hand slapping at me
Bookworm, Bookworm, what do you see?
I see a story closing on me.
