- Opening - "A Tooty Ta" from Dance Like This by Mr. Al
- Literacy activity - Baby Dragons Playing with Letters (flannelboard song to the tune of "Do You Know the Muffin Man" written by Carol Hopkins)
I was inspired by a flannelboard rhyme I found at Storytime In the Stacks to write my own dragon flannelboard rhyme. I passed out one baby dragon to each child. The dragons have one of 5 letters on them. The children bring their dragon up to the board when I say their letter.
Now we have baby dragons, baby dragons, baby dragons,
Now we have baby dragons,
Trying to blow bubbles.
(Bubbles starts with the letter "B")
Now we have baby dragons, baby dragons, baby dragons,
Now we have baby dragons,
Blowing kisses to their mom.
(Kiss starts with the letter "K")
...Flapping their tiny wings.
(Wings starts with the letter "W")
...Jumping with a rope.
(Rope starts with the letter "R")
...Trying to breathe fire.
(Fire starts with the letter "F")
Now we have loud dragons, loud dragons, loud dragons,
Now we have loud dragons,
Giving out a roar!
(Everyone roars)
