Fingerplays and Action Songs We'll Use Again

Some of the songs and rhymes that we used in the first storytime and will be using again include:

The Happy Song (if you're happy and you know it....)
  We'll start out with this song each week, doing three verses. We clap on the first verse, stomp on the third. Help your child think of suggestions for what we can do on the middle verse.

Walking, Walking, from, Songs for Wiggleworms by Old Town School of Folk Music

Walking walking
Walking walking
Hop hop hop
Hop hop hop
Running running running
Running running running
Now we stop
Now we stop
(Repeat: tiptoe, marching)

We also used (hold up five fingers):

This Little Bunny has two big eyesThis little bunny is very wiseThis little bunny is soft as silkThis little bunny is white as milkThis little bunny nibbles awayAt cabbage and carrots, the live long day

Another fun "tickle your palm" rhyme to use:

Round and round the garden
The little bunny goes
Hippity hop, hippity hop
I'm gonna get your nose!
