Here are some songs and/or rhymes we might do in storytime:

Song: Wheels On the Bus
The wheels on the bus go round and round
Round and round, round and round
The wheels on the bus go round and round
All through the town

(verses: babies/up and down… wipers/swish… horn/beep… door/open and shut…)

Flannel: One little blue fish
One little blue fish swimming in the water, (Make a fish with your hands)
Swimming in the water, swimming in the water (Move your fish back and forth)
One little blue fish swimming in the water,
Bubble, bubble, bubble, bubble, (use your pointer fingers to draw circles leading up)
Pop! (Clap your hands)

Verses: go through the different colors of the fish felt

Song: If You’re a _____ and You Know It
If you’re an elephant and you know it, shake your ears
If you’re an elephant and you know it, shake your ears
If you’re an elephant and you know it and you really want to show it.
If you’re an elephant and you know it, shake your ears!

If you’re a pig and you know it, say oink, oink
If you’re a pig and you know it, oink, oink
If you’re a pig and you know it and you really want to show it.
If you’re a pig and you know it, oink, oink!

If you’re a pigeon and you know it, strut your stuff.
If you’re a pigeon and you know it, strut your stuff.
If you’re a pigeon and you know it, and you really want to show it
If you’re a pigeon and you know it, strut your stuff.

Song: Did You Ever See a Bunny? (tune: Did You Ever See a Lassie?)
Did you ever see a bunny, a bunny, a bunny,
Did you ever see a bunny, that hops so slow?
It hops, and hops, and hops, and hops,
Did you ever see a bunny, that hops so slow?

Verses: so fast… backwards… on one foot

See you there!
