Down on the Farm Drop-In Story Time, 3/22/13
Book: Who Am I? Farm Animals
The thing I love most about this book is the suggestions for ways the kids can move. Unfortunately, there were so many people at story time on Friday morning, I had to skip that part so none of the kids would hurt themselves!
Rhyme with Stick Puppets: I Went to Visit the Farm One Day
Book: Barnyard Dance by Sandra Boynton
This would have been better as the first book. The rhythm and rhyme are spot-on, though, and the large-sized board book actually made it possible to share with a large group.
Flannel Board Song: The Farmer in the Dell
"The cheese stands alone" is my favorite line from any children's song. I'm always bummed when we get to that part, and I'm the only one who laughs.
Book: Moo Moo Brown Cow by Jakki Wood
This would be the perfect toddler lap time book, but I didn't have toddler lap time this week, so I tried it here instead. The adults didn't really count with me as they normally do, and that seemed to keep the kids from being that interested either.
Letter of the Day: M
- Song with Puppets: I’m a Little Monkey
- Song: Moon Moon Moon
- Song with ukulele: Muffin Man
- Flannel Board Rhyme: Down Around the Corner (with muffins)
Song with ukulele: ABCs / Twinkle Twinkle Little Star / Baa Baa Black Sheep
Song: I'm a Little Teapot
Rhyme: This is Big, Big, Big
The kids love this rhyme. I might start using it every week.
Song: Monkeys on the Bed
Song: If You're Happy and You Know It
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.
