Happy Fri-Yay!  This week's family storytime theme was "Moving and Grooving."  I was in charge of putting together the family storytime basket this week.  If you are interested in seeing how I put together a family storytime basket click here: Movin' and Groovin'. 

I absolutely love all things music and movement so this was a particularly fun basket and storytime to plan.  I had so much fun reading Squeak, Rumble, Whomp!  Whomp!  Whomp!  The storytime crowd really loved the additional verse of "The Farmer in the Dell."  I learned that verse at Education Through Music's annual conference this past summer and have been itching to try it out on a storytime crowd.

Action Rhymes
Clap, Slap, Tap

Clap, clap, clap, clap   (clap hands)
Slap, slap, slap, slap  (slap legs)
Tap, tap, tap, tap (tap hands on head)

Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle

A wiggle, wiggle here, 
A wiggle, wiggle there,
Wiggle your hands,
Up in the air.

Wiggle your shoulders,
Wiggle your hips,
Wiggle your knees,
and move your lips.

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle,
And wiggle and bend,
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle,
And that is the end!

We Can Jump

​We can jump, jump, jump
We can hop, hop, hop
We can clap, clap, clap
We can stop, stop, stop
We can nod our heads for yes
We can shake our heads for no
We can bend our knees a little bit
And we can sit down really slow
Recorded Music
​These are the songs that we danced to during storytime.  If you are interested in checking out these songs, the album cover images are linked to Amazon so you can listen to a sample and/or purchase these great songs!

The Farmer in the Dell
This is a version that I picked up from Education Through Music this summer.  It has a twist ending!

The farmer in the dell

Hi-ho, the derry-o

The farmer takes the wife 
The farmer takes the wife 
Hi-ho, the derry-o!

The wife takes the child 
The wife takes the child 
Hi-ho, the derry-o!
The wife takes the child

The child takes the nurse 
The child takes the nurse 
Hi-ho, the derry-o!
The child takes the nurse

The nurse takes the dog
The nurse takes the dog
Hi-ho, the derry-o!
The nurse takes the dog

The dog takes the cat
The dog takes the cat
Hi-ho, the derry-o!
The dog takes the cat

The cat takes the rat
The cat takes the rat
Hi-ho, the derry-o!
The cat takes the rat

The rat takes the cheese
The rat takes the cheese
Hi-ho, the derry-o!
The rat takes the cheese

The cheese stands alone 
The cheese stands alone 
Hi-ho, the derry-o!
The cheese stands alone

We all take a bite (make a loud chomping noise)
We all take a bite (make a loud chomping noise)
Hi-ho, the derry-o!
​We all take a bite ​(make a loud chomping noise)
5 Dancing Ballerinas

Five dancing ballerinas
Prancing on their toes
They twirl and spin and jump
Then off the stage she goes 

Four dancing ballerinas

Prancing on their toes
They twirl and spin and jump
Then off the stage she goes ​​

Three dancing ballerinas
Prancing on their toes
They twirl and spin and jump
Then off the stage she goes ​

Two dancing ballerinas
Prancing on their toes
They twirl and spin and jump
Then off the stage she goes ​

One dancing ballerina
Prancing on her toes
She twirls and spins and jumps
Then off the stage she goes ​
