These are the four songs we have at every Story Hour. We begin with "It's Storytime" and that tune signals to the children it's time to sit down on the rug and quiet down because Story Hour is beginning. Then we sing, "Open Shut Them." After that we do the fingerplay, "The Storytime Song for Children," to help get the wiggles out before we begin reading our books and starting our activities. Later on in Story Hour we'll sing, "Clap Your Hands," before we create our craft project.
Each week there will be additional songs rotated in to gradually allow the children time to join in the fun. These songs can be found by clicking the links below:
