This Fun For All Storytime was presented at Bellevue Public Library on June 7, 2018.

Let's Sing!

Books:

Here is a short video clip from Storytime.







The Nuts: Sing and Dance in Your Polka Dot Pants by Eric Litwin, illustrated by Scott Magoon



Songs:
Let's Make Some Noise by Raffi

Let's make some noise, we girls and boys!
We've got a voice so let's make some noise!


You'll Sing a Song and I'll Sing a Song

You'll sing a song, and I'll sing a song,
And we'll sing a song together.
You'll sing a song, and I'll sing a song,
In warm or wintry weather.

You'll play a tune, and I'll play a tune,
And we'll play a tune together.
You'll play a tune, and I'll play a tune,
In warm or wintry weather.

You'll whistle a tune, and I'll whistle a tune,
(whistle...)
You'll whistle a tune, and I'll whistle a tune,
In warm or wintry weather.

You'll sing a song, and I'll sing a song,
And we'll sing a song together.
You'll sing a song, and I'll sing a song,
In warm or wintry weather.
In warm or wintry weather.

Activity:
During my reading of The Nuts: Sing and Dance in Your Polka Dot Pants, I invited the children and adults to join me in the repeated refrain:

Polka dot pants!
Polka dot pants!
Sing and Dance in your polka dot pants!

Then it occurred to me that it would be much more fun to sing "Polka Dot Pants" if we were actually wearing polka dots!
So I handed out sheets of colored dots and encouraged the children and adults to go crazy with the polka dots!  Here is the result!
