Songs:

Clap, Clap, Clap Your Hands

Clap, clap, clap your hands,
Clap your hands together.
Clap, clap, clap your hands,
Clap your hands together.

What else can you do?  Pat your head? Wiggle your toes? Rub your tummy?  The possibilities are endless!



Storytime Has Ended
(tune: "Did You Ever See a Lassie?")

Storytime has ended, has ended, has ended.
Storytime has ended 'til we meet again.

(Children wave to each other as we continue)
'Til we meet, 'til we meet, 'til we meet, 'til we meet.
Storytime has ended 'til we meet again.

The Orange Pokey

You put your pumpkin shape in, you put your pumpkin shape out.
You put your pumpkin shape in and you shake it all about.
You do the Orange Pokey and you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about!

2)...leaf shape in...
3)...butterfly shape in...
4)...basketball shape in...

For this activity the children were given 2 or more orange shapes (basketball, pumpkin, butterfly and leaf), then were asked to hold up the appropriate shape for each verse.


Activities:

Our Hands Say Hello!

Our hands say hello with a clap, clap, clap.
Our feet say hello with a tap, tap, tap.




Clap, clap, clap,
Tap, tap, tap.
Turn around and take a bow.
Sit right down. It's Storytime now!
