Camping Storytime

Welcome/Guidelines (see guidelines post)

Hello Song: We Clap and Sing Hello (Jbrary)
We clap and sing hello!
We clap and sing hello!
With our friends at storytime, we clap and sing hello!

Stretch/Movement Song: Head, Shoulder, Knees, and Toes
Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes
Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes
Eyes, and Ears, and Mouth, and Nose
Head, Shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes

Note: To be silly, you can also do a slower version and then speed it up.

Book 1: Into the Outdoors by Susan Gal

Felt Activity/Story: Five Little Kernels (Storytime Katie)
Five little kernels sizzling in a pot
All of a sudden, one went POP!

Book 2: Gather Round by David Covell

Fingerplay: Five Little Fireflies (found on the The Wielded Pen; credit King County Public Library)
One little firefly shines very bright 
two little fireflies show their lights
three little fireflies glimmer and glow
four little fireflies watch them go!
five little fireflies fly in the night 
Blink! Blink! Blinik! (open and close fingers when blinking!)
My! What a Sight

Instrumental/props

Today, we will be using tapping sticks!

B-I-N-G-O 
There was a farmer who had a dog and BINGO was his name-o
B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O, and BINGO was his name-o

Camping Song (found on StoryBookStephanie; credit StepbyStepcc.com)
Let's go camping
Let's go  camping
pack the tent
pack the tent 
we will all go hiking
we will all go swimming
we will have fun!
we will have fun!

*Note: Not the best tapping stick song, but it's a fun one that little ones can tap their sticks along to.

Clean Up Song
Clean up, clean up, everybody, everywhere
Clean up, clean up, everybody do your share!

Ending Activity: Parachute!

Goodbye Song: We Clap and Sing Goodbye (Jbrary)
We clap goodbye like this, we clap goodbye like this,
with our friends at storytime, we clap goodbye like this

Craft Time!
