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

Song: Itsy Bitsy Spider
The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout,
Down came the rain and wash the spider out,
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain,
And the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again

Verses: The big, big spider (in a big voice)… the eensy weensy spider (in a soft voice)

Song: There’s a Spider on the Floor (tune: If You’re Happy and You Know It)
There’s a spider on the floor, on the floor
There’s a spider on the floor, on the floor
Who could ask for anymore, than a spider on the floor
There’s a spider on the floor, on the floor

Now the spider’s up my leg, on my leg
Now the spider’s on my leg, on my leg
Oh, it’s really, really big, this old spider on my leg!
There’s a spider on my leg, on my leg

Now the spider’s on my stomach, on my stomach!
Oh, the spider’s on my stomach, on my stomach!
Oh, he’s just a dumb old lummock!
This old spider on my stomach
There’s a spider on my stomach, on my stomach!

Now the spider’s on my neck, on my neck!
Oh, the spider’s on my neck, on my neck!
Oh, I’m gonna be a wreck, I’ve got a spider on my neck!
There’s a spider on my neck, on my neck!

Now the spider’s on my face, on my face!
Oh, the spider’s on my face, on my face!
Oh, what a big disgrace, I’ve got a spider on my face!
There’s a spider’s on my face, on my face

Now the spider’s on my head, on my head!
Oh, the spider’s on my head, on my head!
Oh, I wish that I were dead, I’ve got a spider on my head!
There’s a spider on my head, on my head!
But he jumps off!

Now there’s a spider on the floor, on the floor
There’s a spider on the floor, on the floor
Who could ask for anymore, than a spider on the floor
There’s a spider on the floor, on the floor

Song: The Spider Spins a Web (tune: Farmer in the Dell)
The spider spins a web,
The spider spins a web,
Heigh-ho, just watch it go!
The spider spins a web.

The spider traps a _________.
The spider traps a _________.
Heigh-ho, just watch it go!
The spider eats a __________.

See you there!
