7th Storytime of 2006

Theme:
Valentine's Day

We read:
I love you with all my Heart – by Norris Kern
Sweet Hearts – by Jan Carr

Flannel Story- Five Valentines

Finger Play:
Love is a circleLove is a circle, Round and round (make a circling motion with arm)
Love goes up, (raise arms up)
And Love comes down, (lower arms)
Love is on the inside, (pull hands inward towards chest)
Trying to get out, (pull hands away from chest)
Love is whirling and twirling about! (move hands in a spinning motion)

We Sang:

If You’re Happy and You Know It
If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands!
If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands!
If you’re happy and you know it,
Then your face will surely show it, (BIG smile!)
If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands!
Stomp your feet! Shout hurray! Do all three!


Song- HUGS
Everybody wants one, Everybody needs one,
Everybody loves a hug!
Big hugs, little hugs, even itty bitty hugs.
Hugs for everyone!



HEARTS ON THE MOVE (sung to the tune of “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands”)
Wave your valentine In the air.
Wave your valentine In the air.
Wave your valentine In the air.
Wave your valentine in the air.

Put your valentine On your [nose].
Put your valentine On your [nose].
Put your valentine On your [nose].
Put your valentine on your [nose].

Repeat the last verse, replacing the word with other body part words in turn, such as head, arm, and foot
