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.



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!


Five Balloons

Five balloons began to soar.  One went POP!  Now there are four.
Four balloons flying past a tree.  One went POP!  Now there are three.
Three balloons, shiny and new.  One went POP! Now there are two.
Two balloons having so much fun.  One went POP!  Now there is one.
One balloon sparkling in the sun.  It went POP!  Now there are none.

The children had fun helping me with this rhyme!  I presented it with the help of 5 inflated balloons which were attached to the flannelboard.
