ABC Welcome

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 ABCs?

Come along and sing with me!

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXY and Z

Now I've sung my ABCs

Next time won't you sing with me?!

Winter, spring, summer, fall

There are seasons, four in all.

Weather changes, sun and rain and snow

Leaves fall down and flowers grow.

Winter, spring, summer, fall

There are seasons, four in all

Look outside and you will see

Just what season it will be!

Imagination and Movement Song

Jumping Song

(adapted from Jim Gill)

Spoken: It's winter! Let's jump into the snow!

Jump, jump, jump, jump

Jumping me and you

But we'll stop jumping as we count to 2.

1, 2

Spoken:  It's spring!  Let's jump in the rain puddles!

Jump, jump, jump, jump

Jumping high with me

But we'll stop jumping as we count to 3

1, 2, 3

Spoken: Now it's summer!  We might jump into a swimming pool or jump on a trampoline!

Jump, jump, jump, jump

Jumping more and more

But we'll stop jumping as we count to 4

1, 2, 3, 4

Spoken:  After summer it's fall!  Let's jump in the pile of leaves!

Jump, jump, jump, jump

Jump 'cause you're alive

But we'll stop jumping as we count to 5

1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Spoken: Raise your hands high above your head and as we count backwards, slowly lower yourself to the floor

5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Magnet Board Poem

Seasons of the Year

Wintertime the snow does fall

Mittens, hats, make snowballs!

Skate, then make a snowman tall (or small)

Because it is winter!

In the springtime, days grow warm

On the plants, the new buds form

Bees and bugs come out to swarm

Because it is spring!

In summertime, the days are hot

Ice cold treats I eat a lot!

At the beach, I've got a spot

Because it is summer!

The air is cool, fall is here

Pumpkins, leaves, let's give a cheer

The holidays are very near

Because it is autumn.

Movement Song

One Bright Scarf

It seems that in every season we can have wind!

One bright scarf, waiting for the wind to blow

Wiggle it high, wiggle it low

Shake it fast, shake it slow

Hide it behind your back

Where'd it go?

Animal Goodbyes
