Just to add, these two themes can be separate storytimes. I think I will separate them later, but since the storytime schedule may be affected due to the holiday, I usually just bring them together for November storytimes.
Welcome 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!
Fingerplay: Two Little Friends (Found on Storytime Katie; Credit Kings County Library System)
Two little friends are better than one,
and three little friends are better than two,
and four little friends are better still
Just think! What four little friends can do!
Book 1: A Splendid Friend, Indeed by Suzanne Bloom
This book was actually given to me as a gift from my former library! So, I am excited to share this story!
Felt Story/Activity: Jack and Jill (Nursery Rhyme Fun)
Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown, and Jill came tumbling after.
Book 2: Love Makes a Family by Sophie Beer

This is mama, kind and dear. (point to thumb)
This is papa, standing near. (point to pointer finger)
This is brother, see how tall. (point to middle finger)
This is sister, not so tall. (point to ring finger)
This is baby, sweet and small. (point to pinky)

Skinnamarkink (Ms. Emily Library)
Skinnamarkinky-dinky-dink, Skinnamarkinky-doo,
I love you!
Skinnamarkinky-dinky-dink, Skinnamarkinky-doo,
I love you!
I love you in the morning, and in the afternoon.
I love you in the evening and underneath the moon.
Skinnamarkinky-dinky-dink, Skinnamarkinky-doo,
I love you!
Clean Up Song
Clean up, Clean up, everybody, everywhere.
Clean up, clean up, everybody do your share.

Goodbye Song: We Clap Goodbye like This... (Jbrary)
We clap goodbye like this...
We clap goodbye like this...
with our friends at storytime. We clap goodbye like this.
I usually sing this goodbye with this version
We clap and sing goodbye, we clap and sing goodbye,
with our friends at storytime. We clap goodbye like this.
Craft Time!
