Hello Song:  We Wave and Sing Hello

We wave and sing hello,
We wave and sing hello,
With our friends at storytime,
We wave and sing hello

We bounce and sing hello…

Clap, clap, clap your paws.
Clap your paws with me.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily.
Clap your paws with me.

Growl, growl, growl real loud…
Jump, jump, jump up and down…

Lap Bounce: Alice the Camel

Alice the camel has three humps.
Alice the camel has three humps.
Alice the camel has three humps.
So go, Alice, go!
Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Alice the camel has two humps.
Alice the camel has two humps.
Alice the camel has two humps.
So go, Alice, go!
Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Alice the camel has one hump.
Alice the camel has one hump.
Alice the camel has one hump.
So go, Alice, go!
Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Alice the camel has no humps.
Alice the camel has no humps.
Alice the camel has no humps.
‘Cause Alice is a horse, of course!

Book: Orange Pear Apple Bear by Emily Gravett

Song: Way Up High in the Apple Tree

Way up high in the apple tree
Two little apples smiled at me
So I shook that tree as hard as I could
Down came the apples
Mmmmmm they were good.

Song: All around the Strawberry Fields

(Tune: Pop Goes the Weasel)
All around the strawberry fields,
We picked some juicy berries
We brought them home and washed them off,
Pop! Go the berries! (have kids jump up on “pop”)

Other verses: blueberry, blackberry, huckleberry, raspberry

Diaper Rhyme: Splash Fall the Rain drops

Splash! Fall the raindrops,
To the ground they go,
We need the raindrops,
To help the flowers grow.

Shaker Song: The Bear Went Over the Mountain

The bear went over the mountain
The bear went over the mountain
The bear went over the mountain
To see what he could see
To see what he could see
To see what he could see
The bear went over the mountain
The bear went over the mountain
The bear went over the mountain
To see what he could see

The other side of the mountain
The other side of the mountain
The other side of the mountain
Was all that he could see
Was all that he could see
Was all that he could see
The other side of the mountain
The other side of the mountain
The other side of the mountain
Was all that he could see

Goodbye song: We Wave and Sing Goodbye

We wave and sing goodbye,
we wave and sing goodbye,
with our friends at storytime,
we wave and sing goodbye

We bounce and sing goodbye…
