Friendship--Virtual Storytime

Welcome ABCs

Welcome, welcome everyone
We're together let's have some fun
Stories, songs, and puppets too
Storytime is a place for you
Do you know your ABC?
Come along and sing with me!

Now I know my ABCs
Next time won't you sing with me

Hello, friends
Hello, friends

Parent Tip

After reading a book aloud to your child look through the book again together and have your child retell the story by looking at the pictures.  This helps your child develop narrative skills--being able to tell a story and to understand that a story has sequence.  They don't need to remember all the details, but books with a series of actions, such as Little Quack's New Friend, is a great story to retell.

Song

Two Little Friends

Two little friends went out to play
On a bright and sunny day
They jumped, they ran, they had such fun
So they called another little friend to come, 
"Come and play!"

Continue adding one friend until you get to five friends, then end with:

Five little friends went out to play
On a bright and sunny day
They jumped, they ran, they had such fun
They played and played till the day was done!

Goodbye Song (with sign langauge)

Goodbye friends
Goodbye friends
Goodbye friends
It's time to say, "Goodbye".
