Good Morning Song
Good morning, good morning,
Good morning to you
Good morning, good morning
And how do you do?
--Miss Lucy

Hello, How are You
Hello, how are you?
Hello, how are you?
Hello, how are you?
How are you today?
I am fine, how about you?
I am fine, how about you?
I am fine, how about you?
How are you today?
(repeat verse 1)
It’s good to see (child’s name) here
It’s good to see (next child) here
It’s good to see (next child) here
How are you today?
(repeat verse three until all children have been named, then repeat verse 1)

Stretches

Open, Shut Them
Open, shut them
Open, shut them
Give a great GREAT BIG CLAP!
Open, shut them
Open, shut them
Put them in your lap.
Creep them, creep them
To your chin
Creep them, creep them
But do not let them in!
(repeat first verse using little clap instead)

The More We Get Together
The more we get together
Together, together
The more we get together
The happier we’ll be
‘Cause your friends are my friends
And my friends are your friends
The more we get together
The happier we’ll be.

  1. Hi,

    I am new to your blog. I have been a children's librarian for many years, but am looking for some new ideas for Storytime. Do you give them a name tag every week and what do they use the bags for?

    Thank you,
    Barbara
