Welcome Song:
(to the tune of “The Farmer in the Dell”)
We clap and sing hello,
We clap and sing hello,
With our friends at Storytime,
We clap and sing hello!
(wave, stomp, march, wiggle, blink, waddle)
Alphabet Song: Use shakers while singing!
Introduce Letter:

Sing “The G says ggg, the G says ggg, every letter makes a sound, the G says ggg.”
Book 1: Goodnight Gorilla
Activity: “If You’re Grateful and You Know it, Clap Your Hands!”
If you’re grateful and you know it, clap your hands!
If you’re grateful and you know it, clap your hands!
If you’re grateful and you know it, then you’re face will really show it,
If you’re grateful and you know it, clap your hands!
(stomp your feet, shout hooray)
Book 2: Giraffes Can’t Dance
Activity: Go! Stop!
I made “go” and “stop” signs and gave the kids shakers. When I held up GO, they had to shake. When I held up STOP, they had to freeze.
