Song with Flannel Board: Twelve Months Song
I sang this song a cappella, on my own, with just 12 clipart pieces (one for each month, from philipmartin.info) and the nannies broke out into applause when I was finished. Go figure.
I told the group we'd be learning about the seasons in this book, then followed it up with three songs, each about a different time of year.
Flannel Board Song: One Red Mitten
Song: Baseball Player
I did this one three times because there was a little boy in the center of the room having the time of his life.
Rhyme: Climb a Tree
I blew up the pictures for this one on the copier so everyone we would be able to see. It was one the best performances I've ever done of any book, but it was largely unappreciated. Some moms who were new to story time just couldn't seem to stop talking, even when the group as a whole was asked to stop.
Letter of the Day: Letter L
- Rhyme: Blue is the Lake
- Rhyme with Puppet: Ladybug, Ladybug
- Flannel Board Rhyme: Five Little Leaves (based on Five Little Apples - changed "juiciest" to "most colorful")
Song with ukulele: ABCs/Twinkle Twinkle Little Star/Baa Baa Black Sheep
Song: The Wheels on the Bus
Song: If You’re Happy and You Know It
Song: Where is Big Toe?
Song: Monkeys on the Bed
I use the same hello and goodbye songs at almost every session. Click here for the tunes and words. For descriptions of each of my story times, click here.
