Here are the words and citations to the weekly repeated rhymes and songs for my baby storytimes<\/a>:<\/p>\n

OPENING SONG (current): Good Morning Song
\nI adapted this from Greg & Steve’s<\/a> fabulous “Good Morning Song<\/a>.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Good morning, good morning, good morning to you
\nGood morning, good morning, good morning to you
\nIt’s time for our stories, there’s so much to do
\nGood morning, good morning, good morning to you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

OPENING SONG (retired): Hello Song
\nfrom Teach a Toddler: Playful Songs for Learning, Priscilla Hegner & Rose Grasselli, Kimbo Educational<\/em><\/p>\n

Hello, hello, it\u2019s time to come and play
\nHello, hello, let\u2019s have some fun today
\nLet\u2019s clap our hands
\nWiggle our toes
\nShake our bottoms
\nHug and kiss and away we go<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

OPENING FINGERPLAY: Open Shut Them
\nThis is an old standard! I chant it rather than sing it.<\/em><\/p>\n

Open them, shut them
\nOpen them, shut them
\nGive a little clap clap clap<\/p>\n

Open them, shut them
\nOpen them, shut them
\nLay them in your lap<\/p>\n

Creep them, creep them
\nCreep them, creep them
\nRight up to your chin chin chin<\/p>\n

Open wide your little mouth…
\nBut do not let them in!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

FLANNEL SONG: A-Hunting We Will Go
\nTraditional. I sing this every week, using four different clip art animal-and-rhyme pairs. <\/em><\/p>\n

A-hunting we will go
\nA-hunting we will go
\nWe’ll catch a fox and put him in a box
\nAnd never let him go<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

CLOSING ACTION RHYME: This Is Big
\nI wrote this easy action rhyme & we do it every week. It’s a big hit!<\/em><\/p>\n

This is big big big
\nHold arms out to side<\/em><\/p>\n

This is small small small
\nCup hands together<\/em><\/p>\n

This is short short short
\nHold hands with palms facing each other<\/em><\/p>\n

This is tall tall tall
\nReach one hand above head<\/em><\/p>\n

This is fast fast fast
\nCircle fists quickly<\/em><\/p>\n

This is slow slow slow
\nCircle fists slowly<\/em><\/p>\n

This is yes yes yes
\nNod<\/em><\/p>\n

This is no no no
\nShake head<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

CLOSING SONG: Sneeze Game
\nfrom Teach a Toddler: Playful Songs for Learning, Priscilla Hegner & Rose Grasselli, Kimbo Educational<\/em><\/p>\n

You see with your eyes
\nTouch your eyes
\nYou sneeze with your nose
\nTouch your nose (achoo!)
\nYou hear with your ears
\nTouch your ears
\nYou kiss with your lips
\nKiss me here<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
