Songs:
We Dig Books!
(tune: "Three Blind Mice")
We dig books!
Books! Books! Books!
We're hooked on books!
Books! Books! Books!
Whenever we have some time to spare,
We curl up in a comfy chair,
And read about people from here to there.
In books, books, books!
Books! Books! Books!
If You're a Pirate and You Know It
(tune: "If You're Happy and Your Know It")
If you’re a pirate and you know it, swab the deck.
(Swish, swish)
If you’re a pirate and you know it, swab the deck. (Swish, swish)
If you’re a pirate and you know it, then your face will surely show it.
If you’re a pirate and you know it, swab the deck. (Swish, swish)
Additional Verses:
If you’re a pirate and you know it, walk the plank. (Stomp, stomp)
If you’re a pirate and you know it, give a shout, ("Ahoy"—with arm movement)
Activities:
The Day I Went to Sea
I jumped aboard a pirate ship,
The day I went to sea.
We were looking for some treasure,I jumped aboard a pirate ship,
The day I went to sea.
And the captain said to me:
We're going this way and that way,
We're going this way and that way,
And forward and backward,
Across the deep blue sea. Here is a video showing how the children enjoyed this rhyme while playing with our parachute!
Open, Shut Them
(a goodbye chant)
Open, shut them,
(open hands, then close into fists)
Open, shut them,
Give a little clap, clap, clap.
(clap 3 times)
Open, shut them,
(open hands, then close into fists)
Open, shut them,
Lay them in your lap, lap, lap.
(pat your legs three times)
Waving, waving, waving, waving,
High up in the sky, sky, sky.
Wave to me, I'll wave to you,
Now let's all say "Goodbye, bye, bye!"
Start out s-l-o-w-l-y, then increase the speed on the second time through. Can you go even faster when you say it for the third time?!
Our next Reading ROCKS! Storytime will be held on
June 26 & 27, 2013!
Each Reading ROCKS! Storytime includes activities that support one or more of the five early literacy practices identified as essential in helping your child develop the skills they need before they can learn to read. The five practices – singing, talking, reading, playing and writing –were developed for Every Child Ready to Read®, an initiative of the Association for Library Services for Children (ALSC) and the Public Library Association (PLA).
