For the first storytime of this session, I thought it would be fun to ease in with a mix of books and songs that are sure-fire hits. It was nice having songs and stories kids felt comfortable participating with even if we were meeting for the first time.
Bread and Butter
Bread and butter, marmalade and jam
Let’s say hello as [loud, quiet, fast, slow, etc.] as we
can- hello!
ABCs
Count to 10 and Back
Alan's Big Scary Teeth by Jarvis
Five Little Monkeys
Five little monkeys swinging in a tree
Teasing Mr. Crocodile- can't catch me!
Along comes Mr. Crocodile, quiet as can be
And snaps that monkey right out of the tree!
[repeat until no monkeys are left]
Can You Hear the Lions Roaring?
(to the tune of "She'll be Coming 'Round the Mountain")
Can you hear the lions roaring at the zoo- roar!
Can you hear the lions roaring at the zoo- roar!
Can you hear the lions roaring, can you hear the lions roaring
Can you hear the lions roaring at the zoo- roar!
[repeat with snakes hissing and bears growling]

The library doors go open and shut, open and shut, open and
shut
The library doors go open and shut at the library
We check our books in and out, in and out, in and out
We check our books in and out at the library
Our time is up but we’ll see you next week, see you next
week, see you next week
Our time is up but we’ll see you next week at the library
