With our friends at storytime,
We wave and sing hello

We bounce and sing hello…

Song: Monkey, Monkey

Monkey, monkey in the tree
Can you ________ like me?

Make up your own actions:
(jump around, swing your arms, scratch an itch, eat a banana, screech)

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: Dear Zoo by Rod Campbell

Song: I Went to Visit the Zoo

I went to visit the zoo one day,
I saw a lion along the way.
And what do you think I heard it say?
Roar, roar, roar

Switch out lion with other animals!

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: “Wimoweh” by Laurie Berkner

Go to sleep lions

In the jungle the mighty jungle the lion sleeps tonight
In the jungle the mighty jungle the lion sleeps tonight, oh

A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh
A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh
A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a wimoweh
A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh

In the village the peaceful village the lion sleeps tonight
In the village the quiet village the lion sleeps tonight, oh

A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh
A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh
A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a wimoweh
A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, hey

Hush, my darling don’t cry my darling the lion sleeps tonight
Hush, my darling don’t cry my darling the lion sleeps tonight, oh

A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh
A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh
A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a wimoweh
A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, hey

In the jungle the mighty jungle the lion sleeps tonight
In the jungle the mighty jungle the lion sleeps tonight, oh

A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh
A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh
A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a wimoweh
A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, hey

A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh
A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh
A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a wimoweh
A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, hey
