This is what we did:
Opening Song: Hello, how are you?
I normally don't use this hello song for the babies, but one of the adults told me her niece was looking forward to it, so I decided not to disappoint her. I'm actually thinking I might start using it for babies again, because everyone really seems to like it, and it's what they're familiar with from my other story times.
Song: Clap Along With Me
Rhyme: This is Big, Big, Big
Rhyme: Dance Your Fingers
I'm really torn about whether to read books to this group at all. What I would like to read are more board books, with simple images, text, and concepts, but those books are really small, and we don't have enough copies - not even system-wide, in most cases - to give every family their own individual book to read. So I've been sticking to simplistic picture books, and hoping for the best. This book's beautiful illustrations depict different animals and the ways their fathers take care of them. At the end, the narrator - who is presumably a child - proclaims that his own father is the best of all! A good one for Father's Day.
Flannel Board Song: Daddy's Ties
Flannel Board Song: How Much is that Doggie in the Window?
Song: I'm a Little Teapot
Song: Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes (from Wee Sing for Baby)
I found this book in the non-fiction section, and meant to use it for Tuesday morning's story times next week. I threw it in here at the last minute, though, mostly because I was worried about not filling 20 minutes. I like the rhyming text - and it fits well with the summer reading, in that it talks about penguins in lots of climates. But my audience was really only interested in songs, and I didn't have their attention at all for this book.
Song: ABCD Medley
Song: Chickadee
Song: Where is Thumbkin?
Goodbye Song: We Wave Goodbye Like This
