Green Storytime

With storytime landing on St. Patrick's Day I couldn't pass up the opportunity to do a GREEN storytime!  I have done a similar program for my preschool outreach storytimes this week.

Songs/Rhymes

G-R-E-E-N
(tune: Bingo)

Before singing I showed a little demo with yellow and lube paint in a Ziploc being mixed together to make green.

I take some yellow, I take some blue
I mix them together to make something new
G-R-E-E-N
G-R-E-E-N
G-R-E-E-N
And green is that color.

I take some yellow, I take some blue
I mix them together to make something new
G-R-E-E-(clap)
G-R-E-E-(clap)
G-R-E-E-N(clap)
And green is that color.

Continue to take letters away one at a time from the back of the word until...

I take some yellow, I take some blue
I mix them together to make something new
(clap)-(clap)-(clap)-(clap)-(clap)
(clap)-(clap)-(clap)-(clap)-(clap)
(clap)-(clap)-(clap)-(clap)-(clap)
And green is that color.

I Can Walk On Two Feet

We started with jumping like frogs...

I can jump on two feet, on two feet, on two feet
I can jump on two feet all day long!

Additional verses:
Run
March
Tiptoe
Hop (on one foot)
Walk

Turn around, sit down, and give our feet a rest!
