Cars Go Beep Storytime

Storytime for 1 to 3 year olds:

• Opening - Skinnamarink, Sticky Sticky Bubblegum

• Book #1 – My Car by Byron Barton

• Stand-up Activity – "Wheels on the Bus" action song from Six Little Ducks by Kimbo

• 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 - Hippopotamus on Skates (a flannelboard rhyme I got from a librarian at the King County Library System)

• Book #2 – Toot Toot Beep Beep by Emma Garcia

• Activity – Some Cars (action chanted adapted by Carol Hopkins)

Some cars are big

Some cars are small

Some cars can honk their horns with a BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

The wheels on the cars go fast

The wheels on the cars go slow

The wheels on the cars go really, really fast

And then come to a stop!

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

 

 

 

• Art Experience – Color with marker pens on paper plate steering wheels, also use a glue stick to attach a paper circle in the center for a horn.
