Baby & Me Storytime: June 12, 2018

This Baby & Me Storytime was presented at Bellevue Public Library on June 12, 2018.

Book:
Rain, Rain, Go Away by Caroline Jayne Church





Songs:


Hello, Friends!
(tune: "Goodnight Ladies")

Hello friends.
Hello friends.
Hello friends.
We're glad you came today!


Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are. 



You Can Clap Your Hands
(tune: "If You're Happy and You Know It")

You can clap your hands, clap your hands.
You can clap your hands, clap your hands.
When the day is done and you want to have some fun,
You can clap your hands, clap your hands.

Try this song using other possible actions, such as:
You can tap your feet, tap your feet...
You can give a hug, give a hug...
You can peek-a-boo, peek-a-boo!...
You can blow a kiss, blow a kiss...


I'm a Little Teapot

I'm a little teapot, short and stout.
Here is my handle, here is my spout.
When I get all steamed up, then I shout!
Just tip me over and pour me out!



Goodbye, Friends!
(tune: "Goodnight Ladies")

Goodbye friends.
Goodbye friends.
Goodbye friends.
We're glad you came today!


Rhymes:

A Smooth Road

A smooth road, a smooth road, a smooth road, a smooth road!
(gently sway from side to side with Baby)
A bumpy road, a bumpy road, a bumpy road, a bumpy road!
(change action to a gentle up-and-down motion)
A rough road, a rough road, a rough road, a rough road,
(bouncing becomes more intense - but still gentle enough for Baby)
A rough road, a rough road,
A HOLE!
(lean forward with Baby to simulate falling into a hole)


X Marks the Spot

X marks the spot with a dot, dot, dot,
(on Baby's chest or back, trace an X, then 3 dots)
And a daaash, and a daaash,
(trace two long lines)
And a question mark.
(trace a question mark)
Tickle up!
Tickle down!
Tickle Baby all around!

Our activity this week was Board Books!






















Each Baby & Me 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).
