Opening songs:
Hands go up!
Open them shut them
Song: "Wheel on the bus"
Song: "Row, row, row your boat"
Action rhyme: "Stretching"
When I reach up, I feel so tall.
When I bend down, I feel so small.
Taller, taller, taller, taller.
Smaller, smaller, smaller, smaller.
Into a tiny ball.
Action song: "Mr. Golden Sun" [from my childhood]
Oh mister sun, sun, mister golden sun,
Please shine down on me!
Oh mister sun, sun, mister golden sun,
Hiding behind a tree!
These little children are asking you,
To please come out so they can play with you!
Oh mister sun, sun, mister golden sun,
Please shine down on me!
Fingerplay: "Itsy Bitsy Spider"
The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout,
Down came the rain and washed the spider out!
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain,
And the itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout again.
Song: "Twinkle, twinkle little star"
How'd It All Go?
I only had 4 children, unfortunately but they were pretty rambunctious. I ended up doing the stretching song three times to get all the wiggles out - and because they wanted were asking to do it again! It seemed to work though, because they were very attentive during Raindrop, plop! and they loved counting all the things throughout the book.
