Share a Story: "P" Storytime

September 17, 2018 | strande

 

Did you miss our "P" Storytime this week? Don't worry, here's what you missed, plus a few more suggestions to inspire a princess-pirate-pig-pony storytime you can do at home. 

From Storytime

The princess and the pony by illustrator 1983- Kate Beaton

 

FIVE PIRATE SHIPS

     Five pirate ships went out one day

     Over the waves and far away

     When the wind blew, those ships did rock

     And one pirate ship sailed back to the dock [count down until all the pirate ships have sailed away]

.

 

"YO HO" WENT THE LITTLE PIRATE (inspired by jbrary)

     Yo ho went the little pirate one day

     Yo ho went the little pirate

     Yo ho went the little pirate one day

     And they all went Yo ho ho

     But…

     We know pirates 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 pirates go [clap] la de la de la [wavey arms]

     They don’t go Yo ho ho

     Curtsy went the little princess one day

     Curtsy went the little princess

     Curtsy went the little princess one day

     And they all went curtsy curtsy curtsy

     But…

     We know princesses 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 princesses go [clap] rub a dub a dub [running arms]

     They don’t go curtsy curtsy curtsy
