I'm a Little Monster

(from Storytime ABC's)
Pass out a variety of color felt dots to all the children. 

Place the monster on the board (without any spots)

Use this rhyme to call children up to put their dots on the monster

I'm a little monster friendly and bright.

I won't give anyone a fright.

I love polka dots but I have none.

So step right up and give me red ones.

I'm a little monster friendly and bright.

I won't give anyone a fright.

I love polka dots but I only have some.

So step right up and give me orange ones.

I'm a little monster friendly and bright.

I won't give anyone a fright.

I love polka dots and I have lots.

Thank you for my colorful spots.

Are You Sleeping?
(This is one of my new "go-to" songs!)
We used animals that have spots and dots!

Are you sleeping? Are you sleeping?
Little ladybug? Little ladybug?
[snore]
Wake up little ladybug!
Wake up little ladybug!
Fly, fly, fly! Fly, fly, fly!

Giraffe--stretch
Frog--jump
Cheetah--run

Little Ladybug
Ladybug has 1 back spot
1 black spot, 1 black spot
Ladybug has 1 black spot
Pretty Ladybug!

Continue adding dots until you reach 4 or 6.
