Welcome Song
Storytime ABC's
Welcome, welcome everyone
We're together let's have some fun
Stories, songs and puppets too
Storytime is the pace for you!
Do you know your ABCs?
Come along and sing with me!
Now I've sung my ABCs
Next time won't you sing with me?
Guess What I Brought
This is something you can eat
It is usually a square, but you can cut it into triangles
You can put different things in it
My favorite is peanut butter and jelly
It's a sandwich!
(Giant sandwich from Melissa and Doug)

Picnic, picnic

Picnic's what that spells
Eat your food in the sun!
Picnics are such fun!

Picnic's what that spells.

Five Hungry Ants
Five hungry ants marching in a line
They came upon a picnic where they could dine
One marched into the salad,
Then he marched into the cake,
He marched into the pepper...but that was a mistake!
Aaachoo!!!!
Four hungry ants marching in a line
They came upon a picnic where they could dine
One marched into the salad,
Then he marched into the cake,
He marched into the pepper...but that was a mistake!
Aaachoo!!!!
Three hungry ants marching in a line
They came upon a picnic where they could dine
One marched into the salad,
Then he marched into the cake,
He marched into the pepper...but that was a mistake!
Aaachoo!!!!
Two hungry ants marching in a line
They came upon a picnic where they could dine
One marched into the salad,
Then he marched into the cake,
He marched into the pepper...but that was a mistake!
Aaachoo!!!!
One hungry ants marching in a line
He came upon a picnic where he could dine

Movement Song
The Ants Go Marching
Chant and Props
We're going on a picnic. We're going to pack a lunch
What will we take to munch, munch, munch?
I'll have play food to pull out of a bag and add it to our picnic basket (starting with the giant sandwich and ending with watermelon)
For each item we'll chant:
We'll bring some __________, ______________, ________________
We'll bring some ___________ to munch, munch, munch
Parent Tip
Encouraging
children to name objects helps children to develop their language skills,
including vocabulary, articulation, and comprehension. These skills are valuable when children begin
reading.

Sharing
Watermelon
by Kathryn Roach
I have a big red watermelon
A juicy summer treat.
I want to share it with my friends
They'd like a slice to eat!
I'll share one,...
Now another,...
One more slice makes three.
Here's one more for my friend,
And that leaves one for me!
