Did you miss our Jumping Storytime this week? Don't worry, here's what you missed, plus a few more suggestions to have a hopping storytime at home!
From Storytime
We played with the song "Jumping and Counting."
ONE SQUIRREL
One little squirrel went out to play
Leaping through the branches of a tree one day
They had such enormous fun that they called for another squirrel to come.
[Continue, adding another squirrel until you get to 5, then finish...]
They had such enormous fun, but they scurried home before winter comes.
JUMP JUMP WENT THE LITTLE RED SQUIRREL (inspired by jbrary)
Jump jump went the little red squirrel one day, jump jump went the little red squirrel
Jump jump went the little red squirrel one day, and they all went jump jump jump. But…
We know squirrels go [clap] la de la de la [wavey arms]
[clap] la de la de la [wavey arms], [clap] la de la de la [wavey arms]
We know squirrels go [clap] la de la de la [wavey arms], they don’t go jump jump jump.
Hop hop went the little jackrabbit one day, hop hop went the little jackrabbit.
Hop hop went the little jackrabbit one day, and they all went hop hop hop. But…
We know rabbits go [clap] rub a dub a dub [running arms]
[clap] rub a dub a dub [running arms], [clap] rub a dub a dub [running arms]
We know rabbits go [clap] rub a dub a dub [running arms], they don’t go hop hop hop.
