December Outreach Storytimes

For the month of December I used the theme "Winter is Coming!" for my three outreach storytimes.

Books
Three to four of the following books:

Time to Sleep by Denise Fleming

Hibernation Station by Michelle Meadows; illustrated by Kurt Cyrus

A Kitten Tale  by Eric Rohmann

Hello, Snow! by Hope Vestergaard; illustrated by Nadine Bernard Westcott

Don't Wake Up the Bear!  by Marjorie Dennis Murray; illustrated by Patrica Wittman
This is my favorite "hibernation/animals in winter book!

Songs
Two to three of the following songs:

The Hibernation Song
(Tune: Wheels on the Bus)

The weather's getting cold so bundle up
Bundle up, bundle up
The weather's getting cold so bundle up
Winter's on its way!

The bears in the cave sleep all the time...
The squirrels in the trees get lots of nuts...
The frogs and toads go deep in mud...
The ducks and the geese are flying south...
The people in the town wear hats and gloves...

Jingle Bells

(shake jingle bells slowly and quietly)
Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
Over the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bobtail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight.
Oh...

(shake jingle bells fast and loud!)
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh--
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh!!

Five Little Snowmen
5 little snowmen riding on a sled
One fell off and bumped his head
Frosty called the doctor and the doctor said,
"No more snowmen riding on the sled!"

Continue down to one.
