Opening Songs/ Rhymes

I clap my hands
I stamp my feet
I jump up from the ground
I clap my hands
I stamp my feet
And turn myself around

I clap my hands
I stamp my feet
I sit myself right down
I clap my hands
I stamp my feet
And now don't make a sound

Get Ready Song

If you want to hear a story, clap your hands (clap, clap)
If you want to hear a story, clap your hands (clap, clap)
If you want to hear a story
And perhaps a couple more-y
If you want to hear a story, clap your hands (clap, clap)

If you're ready for our stories, smile and grin (smile, grin)
If you're ready for our stories, smile and grin (smile, grin)
If you're wiggles are all wiggled
And your giggles are all giggled
If you're ready for our stories, smile and grin (smile, grin)

Give Your Hands a Clap

Open, shut them, open, shut them
Give a your hands a clap
Open, shut them, open, shut them
Put them in your lap

Creep them, creep them, creep them
Right up to your chin
Open wide your little mouth
But do not let them in

________________________________

Wiggle Wiggle

A wiggle, wiggle here
A wiggle, wiggle there
Wiggle your hands
Up in the air
Wiggle your shoulders
Wiggle your hips
Wiggle your knees
and move your lips
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle
And wiggle and bend
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle
And that is the end

The More We Get Together

The more we get together
together, together
The more we get together
The happier we'll be

For your friends are my friends
and my friends are your friends

The more we get together
The happier we'll be

If you're ready

If you’re ready for a story, take a seat
If you’re ready for a story, take a seat
Clap your hands and stomp your feet
Make your hands all nice and neat
If you’re ready for a story, take a seat
