Last year, a coworker and I created this video storytime to celebrate Thanksgiving while in-person events were still on hiatus. We created this one with the desire to get young children moving around and singing. It is filled with lots of favorite storytime songs and rhymes. Instead of a book we brought in puppets and a flannelboard story. I really wanted the grown-ups watching along with the kiddos to learn the songs, so I used a split screen technique on the videos to display the words to the songs/rhymes while I am singing and acting them out.
Opening song – When Animals Get Up in the Morning (adaptation of a
traditional song)
When pigs get up in
the morning,
They always say “Good Day!”
When pigs get up in the morning,
They always say “Good Day!”
They say, "Oink!, Oink!, Oink!, Oink!,"
that is what they say.
They say, "Oink!, Oink!, Oink!, Oink!,"
that is what they say.
When pigs get up in
the morning,
They always say “Good Day!”
When pigs get up in the morning,
They always say “Good Day!”
They say, "Grunt!, Grunt!, Grunt!, Grunt!,"
that is what they say.
They say, "Grunt!, Grunt!, Grunt!, Grunt!,"
that is what they say.
Flannelboard activity
– Turkeys Eating Cheese
Fondue (a counting rhyme found in Artsy Toddler
Storytimes by Carol Garnett Hopkins)
Action song – Turkey Lurkey (to the
tune of "Handy Spandy" performed with a ball)
Turkey Lurkey fine and dandy.
(ball on head)
Loves pumpkin pie and sugar candy.
(put down ball and sign language for
"candy")
Bought it from a baker's shop,
(bounce ball)
And away did hop, hop, hop!
(toss ball into the air)
Action song – Where Is the Turkey? (action song to the tune of “Oh My
Darling Clementine” found in a Mailbox Preschool magazine, Nov/Dec 2016, page
34)
Action song – The
Turkeys Come Marching (adaptation of the "Ants Go Marching"
song)
The turkeys come marching one by one
Hoorah! Hoorah!
The turkeys come marching one by one
Hoorah! Hoorah!
The turkeys come marching one by one.
The little one stops to suck their thumb.
And they all go marching,
Down,
Around
The farm,
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The turkeys come marching two by two...
The little one stops to tie its shoe...
The turkeys come marching three by three...
The little one stops to gobble at me...
The turkeys come marching four by four...
The little one's feather was stuck in the door...
Closing song - Skinnamarink
(https://youtu.be/95JkQfANW9M)
Skinnamarinky dinky dink
Skinnamarinky do,
I love you!
Skinnamarinky dinky dink
Skinnamarinky do,
I love you!
I love you in the morning,
And in the afternoon
I love you in the evening,
Underneath the moon…
Skinnamarinky dinky dink
Skinnamarinky do,
I love you!
