Rhymes & Songs We Sing in Storytime
Bread and butter, marmalade and jam, Clap, Clap Hands Clap, clap hands, one, two, three, Roly, Poly Roly poly, roly poly When your children have happy experiences, they want to repeat them. Starting kindergarten can be seen as an extension of informal library “classes”. Children who have had joyful experiences in the public library often approach school with a positive attitude, ready and excited to learn.
Let’s say hello as quiet as we can
Bread and butter, marmalade and jam,
Let’s say hello as loud as we can
(Other opposites: fast/slow, high/low, end on nice)
Put your hands upon your knees,
Lift them high to touch the sky,
Clap, clap hands and away they fly.

Down, down, down, down, down, down
Roly poly, roly poly
Left and right, left and right
Roly poly, roly poly
Front and back, front and back
