Picnic--Virtual Storytime

Since (most) publishers are ending their permission to read their books online, we are developing stoyrtimes to do online that do not include books.  They are a little tricker to do.  We are still hoping publishers will extend their permissions.

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 an animal.
It lives on a farm.
They can be black, white, spotted, or even pink!
It says "oink!"

A pig!

Song

Old MacDonald had a Farm

Flannel Board

Five Little Pigs
Five little pigs rolled in the mud
Oh, my goodness! They need a scrub!
The farmer took one piggy out
"Oink, oink, oink!" that pig did shout.

(move one dirty pig from mud puddle, turn piece over so pig is clean)
Count 1 clean pig--how many are dirty?  4 

Four little pigs rolled in the mud
Oh, my goodness! They need a scrub!
The farmer took one piggy out
"Oink, oink, oink!" that pig did shout.

Count clean and dirty pigs after each verse

Three little pigs rolled in the mud
Oh, my goodness! They need a scrub!
The farmer took one piggy out
"Oink, oink, oink!" that pig did shout.

Two little pigs rolled in the mud
Oh, my goodness! They need a scrub!
The farmer took one piggy out
"Oink, oink, oink!" that pig did shout.

One little pig rolled in the mud
Oh, my goodness! It need a scrub!
The farmer took that piggy out
"Oink, oink, oink!" that pig did shout.

The farmer turned his back and then...
Five little pigs rolled in the mud again!

Parent Tip

This flannel helps your child gain an understanding of FIVE.  There are always five pigs on the board, but the number of clean/dirty pigs changes which helps children understand the parts of five.  Understanding what five means will help your child be successful in school.

Movement Song

Roll Your Hands
(tune: Row, row, row your boat)

Roll, roll, roll your hands
As slow as slow can be
Roll, roll, roll your hands
Do it now with me!

Roll, roll, roll your hands
As fast as fast can be
Roll, roll, roll your hands
Do it now with me!

Repeat slow and fast with these actions:
Clap your hands
Stomp your feet

Fingerplay

Two mother pigs lived in a pen
Each had four babies and that made ten.
These four babies were black and white
These four babies were black as night
All eight babies loved to play
They rolled and rolled in the mud all day.
At night with their mother, the curled in a heap
And squealed and squealed til they went to sleep.

Letter Song

P-I-G-G-Y
(tune: Bingo)

There was a hungry little hog
And Piggy was her name-o
P-I-G-G-Y
P-I-G-G-Y
P-I-G-G-Y
And Piggy was her name-o!

Animal Goodbyes
(w/ stick puppets)

See ya later, Alligator!
Blow a kiss, Goldfish!
Give a hug, Ladybug!
Toodaloo, Kangaroo!
Bye-bye, Butterfly!
Gotta get busy, Little Piggies!
