Bedtime Storytime

We had a blast at our first ever Bedtime Storytime. Missed it? Well, here's what we did!

Rhymes and Lyrics

Open Shut Them

Open shut them, Open shut them,

Give a little clap clap clap!

Open shut them, Open shut them,

Put them in your lap, lap, lap!

Creep them, crawl them,

Creep them, crawl them,

Right up to your chin, chin, chin!

Open wide your little mouth,

But do not let them in!

Sun and Moon

Moon comes out. (Hand forms crescent)

Sun goes in. (Place other hand behind back.)

Here is a blanket to cuddle your chin. (Place hands under chin)

Moon goes in. (Place moon behind back)

And Sun comes out. (hold out hand)

Throw off the blanket and wiggle about.

Five little monkeys

Five little monkeys jumping on the bed

One fell off and bumped his head

So Momma called the doctor and the doctor said

No more monkeys jumping on the bed!

…4…3…2…1

There were five in the bed

There were five in the bed and the little one said Roll over! Roll over!

So they all rolled over and one fell out

…4…3…2…1

Twinkle, twinkle, little star

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are. (hold hands up high and sway them)

Up above the world so high,

Like a diamond in the sky. (make diamond shape with fingers)

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are! (hold hands up and sway)

Two Little Blackbirds

Two little blackbirds sitting on the hill

One named Jack and one named Jill

Fly away, Jack

Fly away, Jill

Come back, Jack

Come back, Jill

Two little blackbirds sitting on the hill

One named Jack and one named Jill

Baby Monkey Go To Sleep

(to the tune of London Bridges)

Baby Monkey go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep….

Baby Monkey go to sleep,

Baby Monkey…

...wake up now, jump around, go to sleep

Teddy Bear Teddy Bear

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, turn around

Teddy Bear Teddy Bear, touch the ground

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, show your shoe

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, that will do.

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, wink an eye.

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, reach up high.

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, turn out the lights.

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, say good-night!

If You’re Sleepy And You Know It

If you’re sleepy and you know it yawn like this (yawn)

If you’re sleepy and you know it yawn like this (yawn)

If you’re sleepy and you know it and you really want to show it

If you’re sleepy and you know it yawn like this (yawn)

… stretch like this… (stretch)

… go to sleep… (pretend sleeping)

Good-Bye Song

(Tune of London Bridge)

Bye, good-bye we’ll see you soon,

See you soon, see you soon

Bye, good-bye we’ll see you soon

On another day!
