Sporting Fun Storytime

Storytime for 1 to 3 year olds:
  • Opening - Skinnamarink, Sticky Sticky Bubblegum



  • Stand-up Activity – "If You're Happy and You Know It" from Songs for Wiggleworms by Old Town School of Folk Music

  • Bridge - Open, Shut Them (fingerplay)
Open, shut them
(open and close hands)
Open, shut them
Give a little clap (clap)
Open, shut them
Open, shut them
Put them in your lap
(put hands in lap)

Creep them, creep them
Under your chin
(creep fingers up chest)
Open your mouth, but don't put them in
(do as words say)

Open, shut them
Open, shut them
Give a little clap
Open shut them
Open shut them
Put them in your lap 


  • Flannelboard - Five Fun Sport Balls (chant written by Carol Hopkins)
(need: football, basketball, tennis ball, baseball, soccer ball)

Five fun sport balls trying hard to score.
One makes a touchdown, and now the crowd cheers!

Four fun sport balls trying hard to score.
One gets dunked into the net, and now the crowd cheers!

Three fun sport balls trying hard to score.
One gets smashed out of the court, and now the crowd cheers!

Two fun sport balls trying hard to score.
One makes a home-run, and now the crowd cheers!

One fun sport ball trying hard to score.
It gets kicked into the goal, and now the crowd cheers!

  • Letter of the Day - "B" is for ball


  • Book #2 – Dino-Soccer by Lisa Wheeler, illustrated by Barry Gott

  • Activity – Balls Are for Bouncing and Kicking (action chant to the tune of "Hands are for Clapping" that I adapted from a rhyme I found at Storytime Source Page)
Balls are for kicking,
Kicking to this song!
Balls are for kicking,
Let's kick all day long.

Balls are for bouncing, 
Bouncing to this song!
Balls are for bouncing,
Let's bounce all day long.

Balls are for throwing...

Balls are for catching...

Balls are for rolling...

  • Closing - Rhythm sticks using "Goin' On a Bear Hunt" song from Kids In Action by Greg and Steve 
   
 

  • Art Experience – Coloring with marker pens on a soccer ball coloring sheet
