It's a Party! Virtual Storytime

Alphabet Welcome

Welcome, welcome everyone

We're together let's have some fun

Stories, songs, and puppet too

Storytime is a place 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?

What did Henrietta Bring?

1.  You often seem them at parties

2.  They come in lots of different colors

3.  They start out flat

4.  Then you blow air into them...

A Balloon!

Let's Pretend!

1.  Fingerplay

Mix the batter

Stir the batter

Pour some flour in

Mix the batter

Stir the batter

Pour it in a tin

Sprinkle some sugar on top

And pop it in to bake

Open up the oven

And out comes a cake!

Now we'll let it cool...

Time to frost and decorate!

2.  Movement

Walking, walking

Walking, walking

Hop, hop, hop

Hop, hop, hop

Running, running, running

Running, running, running

Now we stop

Now we stop!

We made it to our friends' house for the party!  Give them the cake you baked!

Parent Tip

There are many benefits to imaginative play that helps to boost early learning!  Creative, open-ended play is how children learn to socially bond, respect others, communicate, and balance personal emotions with the emotions of others.  These skills are valuable when learning in school.
