Virtual Family Storytime

11/9/2020

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?
