Storytime – Welcome Song
Storytime is starting, starting, starting.

Storytime is starting, come and listen to me.


Fingerplay: Yawning Yaks
Five yaks yawned a lot--    (Hold up 5 fingers and yawn.)
Time for bed believe it or not.   (Lay hands aside of face as asleep.)
For your mother you must obey.     (Shake pointy finger.)
And when you get up, just yell yea!  (Jump up and say “yea.”)


Action Song: Ten Fluffy Chickens
Five eggs and five eggs,
That makes ten. (Hold up two hands)
Sitting on top is the Mother Hen. (Fold one hand over the other)
Crackle, crackle, crackle; (clap three times)
What do I see?
Ten fluffy chickens, (hold up ten fingers)
As yellow as can be.


Read third story Peg and the Yeti or Yes


Fingerplay: Color Rhyme
If your clothes have any red, Put your finger on your head.
If your clothes have any blue, Put your finger on your shoe.
If your clothes have any green, Wave your hand so that you’re seen.
If your clothes have any yello


w, Smile like a happy fellow.
If your clothes have any brown, Turn your smile into a frown.
If your clothes have any black, Put your hands behind your back.
If your clothes have any white, Stomp your feet with all your might.


Craft: Yeti
Materials: Toilet rolls painted white, squeezed together at the top and stapled with jagged hair cut out, white paper arm shapes, markers.
Glue on arms and draw on faces and hair.

I got the idea from Cider and Faun
