Dream Big... Read Storytime: Camping

All summer we'll be doing storytime programs with our summer reading theme, Dream Big... Read, in mind. This week- Camping!
What better way to spend a summer night than under the moon and stars?


This is the Way
This is the way we hike in the woods,
Hike in the woods, hike in the woods.
This is the way we hike in the woods,
when we go out to camp!
-fish in the stream
-roast our marshmallows
-set up the tent

Sleeping Bag Chant
I was lying in my sleeping bag- I couldn’t get to sleep
When the wind began to howl and the bugs began to creep.
So I rolled to my left and I rolled to the right
But all I could do was hear the noises in the night—
I heard an owl (hoo, hoo)
… Bat (flap, flap)
… Cat (meow, meow)
…Frog (ribbit, ribbit)
… Bear! (roar, roar)

Under the Blanket
Under the dark there is a star
Under the star there is a tree
Under the tree there is a blanket
Under the blanket there is me!

Campfire Pokey
You put your marshmallow in,
You take your marshmallow out,
You put your marshmallow in,
And you shake it all about.
You do the campfire pokey
and you turn yourself around,
That’s what it’s all about! HEY!
… hotdog, fish, whole dinner

2 Little Campers
2 little campers sitting on a hill,
One named Jack and one named Jill
Run away Jack, run away Jill
Come back Jack and come back Jill

Silly Song
1, 2 tie my shoe. 3, 4 eat s’mores.
5, 6 pick up (fire) sticks.
7, 8 lay them straight.
9, 10 a big bear’s den, GRRRR!

Twinkling Stars
(tune: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star)
Twinkle, twinkle, little stars
Stand and twinkle where you are.
Twinkle high and twinkle low.
Twinkle fast and twinkle slow.
Twinkle, twinkle little stars.
Sit and twinkle where you are.

10 Little Campers
1 little, 2 little, 3 little campers
4 little, 5 little, 6 little campers
7 little, 8 little, 9 little campers
10 little campers, asleep in their tents!

Five Little Hot Dogs
5 little hot dogs roasting in the pan
One got hot and it went BAM!

0 hot dogs in the pan, it got hot and then went BAM!
