Preschool Storytime - Lego / Building reboot

A remix of my original Lego/Construction program. 

Opening
Sit Down, Stand Up Song by Rick Goldin
Everybody stand up
Everybody sit down
Now stand up again
And turn around
Keep standing up
But not for long

Cause this is the sit down stand up sit down stand up sit down song



Books
Stanley the Builder by William Bee - This was great. The kids were engaged with the story and I plan to use the other Stanley books.


Tip Tip Dig Dig by Emma Garcia - We made lots of noise using our egg shakers during this story.


Diggers Go by Steve Light - I love the fun noises in all the books in this series but the kids didn't enjoy it nearly as much as I did.


Songs

Peter Hammers by Laura Johnson from Circle Time Songs and Games

I Can Shake My Shaker Egg by Mr. Eric and Mr. Micheal from Rockin' Red

Put Your Fingers In the Air by Carole Peterson from Baloney


Hello My Name is Joe by Peter and Ellen Allard from Sing It Say It Sway It vol 2

Felt Board

5 legos in a tower tall
I want to knock them over and make them fall
I'll clean up my toys one by one
let's count to see when I am done

4 legos in a tower tall
I want to knock it over and make them fall
I'll clean up my toys one by one
let's count to see when i am done

3 legos in a tower tall
I want to know it over and make them fall

I'll clean up my toys one by one
let's count to see when i am done

2 legos in a tower tall

I want to knock them over and make them fall
I'll clean up my toys one by one
let's count to see when i am done

1 lego in a tower tall

I want to knock it over and make it fall
I'll clean up my toys one by one

But there's nothing to count because we are all done.


Egg Shaker Rhyme
Shake Your Shaker (to the tune of London Bridge) from LibraryLand.

Shake your shaker in the air,
Shake it here, shake it there.
Shake your shaker in the air,
Shake your shaker.

Shake it high and shake it low,
Shake it yes, shake it no.
Shake it high and shake it low,
Shake your shaker.

Shake it up and shake it down,
Rub your shaker on the ground.
Shake it up and shake it down,
Shake your shaker.

Shake it near and shake it far,
Drive your shaker like a car.
Shake it near and shake it far,
Shake your shaker.

Shake it fast and shake it slow,
Shake it stop, shake it go.
Shake it fast and shake it slow,
Shake your shaker.


Action Rhyme
I’m a Builder Tune of “Frere Jacques” (Modified from the original by Jean Warren) From Preschool Express.

I’m a builder!
Hear me pound!
Hear my sound!
Tap- a tap, a tap-tap
Tap-a tap, a tap-tap
All day long!
All day long!


Tune Cube
This Little Piggy

I learned that after you toss the cube to find the rhyme for the day you have to pick up the cube or one of your kids will grab it and smash it to the floor repeatedly before you can get it back.


Closing 
We Clap Our Hands Like This - tune farmer in the dell
Borrowed from Opening/Closing Songs on Storytime Katie who borrowed it from Rhymes for Toddlers on Sunflower Storytime. 

We clap our hands like this
We clap our hands like this
We clap our hands with all of our friends
We clap our hands like this.

We blow a kiss like this
We blow a kiss like this
We blow a kiss with all of our friends
We blow a kiss like this.

We wave goodbye like this.
We wave goodbye like this.
We wave goodbye with all our friends.
We wave goodbye like this.



At the end we played with Duplo blocks for about a half an hour.
