Sixith Storytime of 2007

Theme: Valentine's Day

I read:

Will you be my Valenswine? By Teresa Bateman

The Ballad of Valentine by Alison Jackson

The Best Thing about Valentines by Eleanor Hudson

We sang:

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 underlined word with other

body part words in turn, such as head, arm, and foot

And a Fingerplay too:

Love is a circle
Love 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)

Pj, my sidekick the dog, handed out valentines and we had a nice sweet time!

It was a very happy active crowd of 40!
