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…

Fingerplay: The Itsy Bitsy Spider

Itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again

Fingerplay: Pumpkin (using the ASL sign for “pumpkin”)

Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
Pumpkin, pumpkin on the ground
How’d you get so big and round?
One you were a seed so small
Now you are a great big ball
Pumpkin, pumpkin on the ground
How’d you get so big and round?

Book: Where is Baby’s Pumpkin? by Karen Katz

Lap Bounce: Bumpin’ Up and Down

Bumpin’ up & down in my little red wagon
Bumpin’ up & down in my little red wagon
Bumpin’ up & down in my little red wagon
Won’t you be my darlin’?

Going ‘round the curve in my little red wagon
Going up a hill in my little red wagon

Switch out the word “wagon” with whatever your child rides – stroller, horse, bouncer, etc.

Diaper Rhyme: You Roll It

You roll it, you roll, you roll it
and then you put some raisons in it!

You stretch it, you stretch it, you stretch it, you stretch it,
and then you clap some flour on it!

You poke it, you poke it, you poke it, you poke it
and then you pat some sugar on it!

Song:  Elevator Song

Oh the city is great and the city is grand
There’s a whole lot of people on a little piece of land
we live way up on the 57th floor
and this is what we do when we go out the door.
We take the elevator up, take the elevator down, take the elevator up, take the elevator down
Take the elevator up take the elevator down and then we turn around.

Scarf Song: Roly Poly

Tune: Frère Jacques Roly poly, roly poly
Up, up, up.
Up, up, up.
Roly roly poly. Roly, roly, poly.
Down, down, down.
Down, down, down.

Roly-poly, roly-poly
in, in, in
In, in, in
Roly roly poly. Roly, roly, poly.
Out-out-out. (roll hands away from body)

Roly-poly, roly-poly
Clap-clap-clap. (clap)
Clap-clap-clap. (clap)
Roly roly poly. Roly, roly, poly.
Tap, tap, tap
Tap, tap, tap

Goodbye song: We Wave and Sing Goodbye

We wave and sing goodbye,

we wave and sing goodbye

We bounce and sing goodbye…
