Virtual Music and Movement

Today is the conclusion of the Fall 2020 Virtual Music and Movement series.  This program is pre-recorded and was developed for children aged three to five with an adult caregiver in mind.

Most of the songs used in the Music and Movement program come from an early literacy approach that I have been studying for close to ten years called Education Through Music (for more information see my Musical Monday posts).
The Plan
Hello Song: Hi, Hello, and How are You?
From Literary Hoots
To the tune of London Bridge is Falling Down
Hi, hello and how are you
How are you
How are you
Hi, hello and how are you
How are you today?
Bluebird

​Bluebird, bluebird through my window
Bluebird, bluebird through my window
Bluebird, bluebird through my window
Oh, Johnny aren’t you tired?
Hickety Tickety

​Hickety tickety bumblebee,
Will you make your sound for me?
Drum Songs - Drum with Me and Tap Your Drums

Tap Your Drums
Drum real soft, duo duo
Drum real soft, duo duo
Drum real soft, duo duo
Drum your drums today.

Drum real loud, duo duo
Drum real loud, duo duo
Drum real loud, duo duo
Drum your drums today.

Drum real fast, duo duo
Drum real fast, duo duo
Drum real fast, duo duo
Drum your drums today.

Drum real slow, duo duo
Drum real slow, duo duo
Drum real slow, duo duo
Drum your drums today.
Drum With Me All Together
Drum with me all together
Drum with me all together
Drum with me all together
Won’t you be my darling?

Tap your sticks all together
Tap your sticks all together
Tap your sticks all together
Won’t you be my darling?

Drum with me all together
Drum with me all together
Drum with me all together
Won’t you be my darling?
Pop Goes the Weasel with Scarves

Adapted by N. Lawton
​All around the cobbler’s bench
The monkey chased the weasel.
The monkey thought ‘twas all in fun.

Pop! Goes the weasel.
Goodbye Song: Thanks for Coming

To the tune of Oh My Darling Clementine
​Thanks for singing, thanks for playing,
Thanks for coming here today!
Now that music class is over
Hope you have a lovely day!

Virtual Family Storytime

This virtual storytime was pre-recorded and posted on a digital platform that my library uses.  Customers register for the virtual program and receive a link to this platform where all of our virtual programs are posted.

The theme of today's storytime is "Let's Get Dressed."  
The Plan
Action Rhyme: Washing in the Washing Machine
​
Credit: Yogibrarian
Washing in the washing machine,
Going round and round, (roll arms in a circle)
Washing in the washing machine,
Going up and down, (roll arms high and then low)
Round and round and up and down,
It makes a noisy sound, (roll arms in a circle, speeding up)
Faster, faster, faster, faster,
Stop!
Song: The Laundry Pokey
Credit: Librarian is on the Loose
To the tune of “The Hokey Pokey”

You put your sock in
You put your sock out
You put your sock in and you shake it all about
You do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around
That’s what it’s all about!
 
More verses:
You put your t-shirt in (Lean your shoulders in and out)
You put your underwear in (Turn around and put your butt in and out)
You put your long johns in (Jumping forward and back)
Flannel Activity: Alien Gets Dressed
by N. Lawton
This isn’t a “story” but is definitely a fun interactive activity
Alien needs help getting dressed. 
Can you help Alien?

Alien is going to put on their underwear.
Alien thinks underwear goes here (put underwear on Alien’s head)
Is this where underwear goes?
Where does it go? (on your bottom)

Alien is going to put on their mittens.
Alien thinks mittens go here (put mittens on Alien’s feet)
Is this where mittens go?
Where do they go? (hands)

Alien is going to put on their socks. 
Alien thinks socks go here (put socks over Alien’s eyes)
Is this where socks go?
Where do they go? (feet)
Song with Flannel board: Oh Where, Oh Where Has My Laundry Gone?
Original Credit: Read Rabbit Read Blog & Librarian Is On the Loose Blog
Adapted by N. Lawton
To the tune of “Where Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone?” 
Oh where, oh where has my (laundry item) gone?
Oh where, oh where can they be?
I’ve looked up high, and I’ve looked down low,
Did someone hide them from me?
Are they in the (color) laundry basket?
