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…

Song: Open Shut Them

Open, shut them
Open, shut them
Open, shut them
Open, shut them
Give a little clap, clap, clap
Open, shut them
Open, shut them
Put them in your lap

Creep them, crawl them
Creep them, crawl them
Right up to your chin
Open wide your little mouth…
But do not let them in.

Lap Bounce: A Smooth Road

A smooth road
A smooth road
A smooth road
A smooth road

A bumpy road
A bumpy road
A bumpy road
A bumpy road

A rough road
A rough road
A rough road
A rough road

A hole!

Book: The babies on the Bus by Karen Katz

Action Rhyme: Zoom Down the Highway

Zoom down the highway (pretend to drive OR bounce baby)
Zoom down the highway
Zoom down the highway
Fast!

Up goes the drawbridge (move your arms up OR lift baby)
Up goes the drawbridge
Up goes the drawbridge
The ship is going past.

Down goes the drawbridge (move your arms down OR lower baby)
Down goes the drawbridge
Down goes the drawbridge
The ship has past.

Zoom down the highway (pretend to drive OR bounce baby)
Zoom down the highway
Zoom down the highway
Very fast!

Diaper Rhyme: Leopard

Spots, spots, spots, spots, spots, spots, spots, spots
A leopard has lots of spots
A lot of spots he’s got
A tiger’s stripes are always nice
But a leopard has lots of
Spots, spots, spots, spots, spots, spots, spots, spots

Song:  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
Mmmm they were good!

Shaker Song: Going to Kentucky

We’re going to Kentucky
We’re going to the fair
To see the senorita with the
Flowers in her hair,
So shake it shake it baby,
Shake it up and down,
Shake it like a milkshake
And shake it like a clown
Roll it to the bottom
And roll it to the top
And turn around and turn around and turn around and
Stop!

We’re going to Kentucky
We’re going to the fair
To see the senorita
With the flowers in her hair.
Shake it shake it baby,
Shake it all you can,
Shake it like a milkshake,
And do the best you can.
Oh rumble to the bottom,
Rumble to the top.
Then turn around and turn around
Until you make it Stop!

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…
