The Plan
Books
Hickory Dickory Dock by Keith Baker
Mary Had a Little Lamb by Sarah Josepha Hale
1, 2, Buckle My Shoe by Anna Grossnickle Hines
Ten In the Bed by Jane Cabrera
Extension Activities
(I have known all of these since childhood, so I don’t have a source.)
Flannelboard: “Hey Diddle Diddle”
Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle / The cow jumped over the moon
The little dog laughed to see such sport / And the dish ran away with the spoon
Flannelboard: “Twinkle Twinkle”
Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are?
Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are?
Puppets: “Hey Diddle Diddle”
Puppets: “Hickory Dickory Dock”
Hickory dickory dock, the mouse ran up the clock
The clock struck one, the mouse ran down, hickory dickory dock
Action Rhyme: “One, Two, Buckle My Shoe”
One, two, buckle my shoe / Three, four, shut the door
Five, six, pick up sticks / Seven, eight, open the gate
Nine, ten, a big fat hen!
Fingerplay: “Itsy Bitsy Spider”
The itsy bitsy spider went up the waterspout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again
Prop Song: “Baa Baa Black Sheep”
Baa baa black sheep, have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full
One for the farmer and one for the dame
And one for the little boy who lives down the lane
Baa baa black sheep, have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full
Craft
I got the idea for this craft from DLTK and I did modify it a bit (using a spider cut-out instead of an egg carton spider). My families had a lot of fun gluing cotton balls and tissue paper squares on the waterspout — I saw a lot of families singing the rhyme afterwards, so it definitely helped reinforce the theme. (Even though Itsy Bitsy isn’t a classic nursery rhyme, I went with it!)
How It Went
I was thrilled to have this storytime — my community definitely does not have a large grasp of nursery rhymes and being able to introduce them to the kids was a memorable experience. I did a lot of repetition (ie, we read “1, 2, Buckle My Shoe” and then did the rhyme with the motions) and I made sure to also add that repetition helps children learn and that hearing nursery rhymes helps with hearing how words are made and will help when their children begin to read. I think I made a lasting impression because all of our nursery rhyme books were checked out after this storytime. I think the most successful book was “Ten In the Bed” by Jane Cabrera. The one nursery rhyme that the kids knew, prior to storytime, was “Twinkle Twinkle.

Opening Rhyme
(to the tune of The Farmer in the Dell)
We’re all here today. We’re all here today.
Let’s clap our hands and sing together.
Hip, hip, hooray!
Source: (To be honest, my library was using this before I started so I’m not sure where the previous librarian found it, but it looks like a modified version of Jean Warren’s Preschool Express song here.)
Hello, Hands. Good-bye, Hands.
Hello, hands. (Wave hands in front of face.)
Good-bye, hands. (Hide hands behind back.)
Hello, hands. Good-bye, hands.
My hands were feeling shy today. (Keep hands hidden.)
But now they’re feeling better! (Bring hands out, wave frantically, and smile HUGE.
)
Repeat with feet, face, etc.

Book- To Market, To Market by Anne Miranda
Jack Be Nimble
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack jump over the candle stick.
The Wheels on the Bus
The wheels on the bus go round and round,
Round and round, round and round,
The wheels on the bus go round and round,
All through the town.
The people on the bus go up and down…
The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish…
The horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep…
The babies on the bus go wah, wah, wah…
The driver on the bus says move on back…
Rub-a-Dub-Dub
Rub-a-dub-dub,
Three men in a tub.
And who do you think they be?
The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker
And out they jumped, all three!
Book – Neighborhood Mother Goose
One, Two, Buckle My Shoe
One, two, buckle my shoe
(pat foot)
Three, four, shut the door (clap)
Five, six, pick up sticks
(show fingers)
Seven, eight, lay them straight (pat floor)
Nine, ten, a big fat hen!
(make wings and cluck)
Wee Willie Winkie
Wee Willie Winkie runs through the town,
Upstairs and downstairs in his nightgown,
Rapping at the window, crying through the lock,
“Are the children in their beds? It’s now eight o’clock!”
Pat-a-cake
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker’s man,
Bake me a cake as fast as you can.
Roll it, and prick it, and mark it with a “B”
And put it in the oven for Baby and me!
The Grand Old Duke of York
The grand old Duke of York
He had 10 thousand men
He marched them up to the top of the hill
Then he marched them down again
And when they were up, they were up
And when they were down, they were down
And when they were only half-way up
They were neither up nor down
Bubbles – best bubble machine ever! (IMHO, of course)
Rainbows in my Bubbles
(Tune of She’ll be Coming Round the Mountain)
I’ve got rainbows in my bubbles, yes, I do
I’ve got rainbows in my bubbles, yes, I do
When I look up towards the sun,
They’ve got rainbows every one.
I’ve got rainbows in my bubbles, yes, I do.

Good-bye Song
Wave with one hand, then with the other
Wave with one hand, then with the other
Wave with one hand, then with the other
Wave with both feet now
Repeat with other body parts

Play Time!
Early literacy tip: Nursery rhymes are short and rhythmic, which makes them easy for children to learn and memorize.
As children hear, sing or read nursery rhymes, they develop “phonemic awareness” or the ability to detect the individual sounds that make up words, a crucial first step in learning to read. Nursery rhymes, especially Mother Goose rhymes, also introduce children to new vocabulary which increases comprehension and benefits learning in all subjects.

Holidays
Train your child's memory!
Not every child can patiently listen to the end of a fairy tale or other prose story. Whereas children's poems do not tire with monotony, the rhyme in them jumps as if over bumps, easily holding the attention of a small listener. It's amazing how quickly children memorize rhymes, it's worth saying a few times, as they already agree on the ending with you. Be sure to use this ability, training memory from childhood, you will greatly simplify your child's schooling.
Start with the poems of Agnia Barto in the “Toys” section, look for small quatrains, they are perfectly remembered. Most of them you yourself still remember by heart. So right?
How to learn a poem for the holiday?
In kindergarten and school, your child will often face the need to recite poems in front of the public. It can be a New Year's party or an ordinary lesson, in any case, it is important that he is not afraid of this. But all you need to do is pay a little attention to it.
The poem must be learned in advance and repeated at home as if in between times, without focusing on the importance of the event. For example, you can say: “Remember, you and I learned a great rhyme? Well, tell it to me." Children's poems are usually simple and the child will quickly remember them. You can rehearse by telling a poem to dad or mom, grandfather or grandmother. You need to ask to speak loudly and with expression, but in no case should you lecture or interrupt during the speech.
How your peers and you react to the first performance of a small artist is of great importance, so it is better to start with relatives. Having told a few rhymes to familiar people and, having received a benevolent reaction, you will give confidence to the baby. Poems for children at matinees perfectly train public speaking skills.
Poems for babies
Babies develop rapidly, instantly absorbing information about everything that is happening around. Music, fairy tales and poems come to the aid of mothers. All poems in the collection are selected taking into account age characteristics. Their heroes are familiar and familiar toys, baby animals or the same children as a small listener. With such verses for kids it is easy to interest even the biggest fidget.
One of the important tasks of poems for kids is to make life more interesting. After all, it is much more fun to wash your face in the morning when mom tells a rhyme. Yes, and porridge will be tastier, and compote is sweeter.
And the rainiest weather will not seem so gloomy if you choose the right words.
Clubfoot bear
Clubfoot bear
Walks through the forest,
(We walk briskly)
Collects cones,
Sings songs.
(Squatting - collecting bumps)
The bump bounced off
Right in the bear's forehead.
(Hold hands on the forehead)
The bear got angry
And with the foot - top!
(Stomp our feet)
Gray bunny
Gray bunny sit
(We sit like a bunny)
And move our ears,
Just like that, like that!
(We move our ears-palms)
Bunny is cold to sit,
Warm up the paws,
Clap-clap, clap-clap.
(Clap your hands)
Bunny is cold to stand,
Bunny needs to jump.
Hop-hop, skip-hop.
(Let's jump like a bunny)
Two funny sheep
Two funny sheep
Played near the river.
Jump-jump, jump-jump!
(Jumping merrily)
White sheep jumping
Early in the morning near the river.
Jump-jump, jump-jump!
Up to the sky, down to the grass.
Up to the sky, down to the grass.
(We get up on our legs, stretch up. We squat, we lower our hands down)
And then we circled
(We spin)
And fell into the river.
(Falling)
A horned goat is walking
A horned goat is walking
(Putting "horns" to the head)
After the little guys.
Legs - top-top!
(Stomp our feet)
Eyes - clap-clap!
(We close our eyes and open our eyes)
Who doesn't eat porridge?
Who doesn't drink milk?
(We threaten with a finger)
Gore, gore!
(Butting heads)
Two bugs
Two bugs in the clearing
Hopak danced:
(Dancing, hands on the belt)
Right leg top, top!
(Stomp with the right foot)
With the left foot top, top!
(Left foot stomp)
Handles up, up, up!
Who will raise above all?
(Stand on tiptoes, stretch up)
Top-top - Learning to walk!
Legs, legs,
Run along the path,
Pick peas.
Big feet
Walked on the road:
Top-top-top-top-top,
Top-top-top-top-top.
Little feet
Run along the path:
Top-top-top-top-top,
Top-top-top-top-top.
Teeth
Like Masha has two teeth.
Don't bite them, daughter!
Don't bite, eat,
Listen to mom and dad.
E. Grigoryeva
Naughty spoon
Our spoon is naughty!
Instead of a mouth, I got into my ear!
Ai-ai-ai! - what a spoon!
I'll punish her a little.
Lazgdyn
While falling asleep
Sleeping eyes and sleeping cheeks
Tired babies.
Eyelashes and palms sleep,
Bellies and legs sleep.
And tiny ears
Sweetly doze on the pillow.
The curls are sleeping, the hands are sleeping,
Only the noses are sniffling.
I. Gurina
Stomper
Stomp, stomp -
Stomp!
And I'll trample -
I'll stop trampling!
I won't go on the heels,
After all, there are only slippers left!
And I'll go, I'll go again
I stomp on my heels!
A.
