Alphabet Fun...Final Storytime

To celebrate that we made it all the way through the alphabet this school year our final storytime--Alphabet Fun!

Book
We just read one book today so we would have plenty of time for all the fun alphabet activities.

Everything to Spend the Night: From A to Z  by Ann Whitford Paul; illustrated by Maggie Smith

Songs/Rhymes
Some of our favorites!

Little Bird
(chant)
Little Bird, little bird fly away
What color nest are you in today?

Parachute Opposites
(tune: The Farmer in the Dell)

The parachute goes up, the parachute goes down
Up, down, up, down
The parachute goes up and down.

The parachute goes fast, the parachute goes slow
Fast, slow, fast, slow
The parachute goes fast and slow.

The parachute goes 'round, the parachute goes 'round
'Round, 'round, 'round, 'round
The parachute goes 'round and 'round.

The parachute goes in, the parachute goes out
In, out, in, out
The parachute goes in and out.

Repeat verse for fast and slow
Then repeat up and down--instructing the children to hide under the parachute when we put it up!

One, Two Buckle My Shoe
1, 2, buckle my shoe
3, 4, shut the door
5, 6, pick up sticks
7, 8, lay them straight
9, 10, a big fat hen!
