Dream Big... Read Storytime: Bedtime

All summer we'll be doing storytime programs with our summer reading theme, Dream Big... Read, in mind. This week- Bedtime!

 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

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!

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

Animals Sleeping

We are the animals, sleeping, sleeping

We are the animals, sleeping tight… *Yawn*, stretch!

We are the animals, waking, waking

We are the animals waking up as…

Cheetahs (running)

Sharks (chomping)

Elephants (stomping)

Kangaroos (jumping)

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)

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)
