What We Wear Storytime
Scott Bahlmann
Opening: Shake My Sillies Out – Raffi
Book: Ducks Don’t Wear Socks – John Nedwick
(A really fun book with some great personality.)
Song: Bring Your Clothes -
from the CD Whaddaya think of that? by Laurie Berkner
(act out the song as it goes!)
Book: No! That’s Wrong! – Zhaohua Ji
(It's a book about underwear, the kids love it, though they might have been confused in a few point.)
Flannel Board: I’m Invited to a Party! by Mo Willems
(used the same text, acted out with stick puppets. They would switch during each change.)
Book: Ella Sarah Gets Dressed – Margaret Chodos-Irvine
(Quite cute with a great ending.)
Song: Mitten Song -
from the CD H.U.M. All Year Long by Carole Peterson
(A really basic song, not sure I'm a big fan of it, but it was something to do!)
Book: Froggy Gets Dressed – Jonathan London
(A fun cumulative story.)
Activity: If Your Clothes Have Any Red
If your clothes have any red, any red
If your clothes have any red, any red
If your clothes have any red,
put your hands above your head,
If your clothes have any red, any red.
...if your clothes have any blue,
jump up and down inside your shoes,
...if your clothes have any white,
scrunch your face up small and tight,
...if your clothes have any yellow,
jiggle like a bowl of jello-o,
...if your clothes have any green,
Tilt sideways ‘till you lean,
...if your clothes have any brown,
turn around and around,
(A fun activity, I did have to interject a purple for a little girl that was just waiting to have a turn doing something! Spinning in a circle! ...close enough.)
