Robot Shapes aka. Daft Punk is Playing at Storytime

Did you know there were originally three members of Daft Punk? 

After getting back from touring around the world,
they were playing at my house, my house. 

Way Up High in the Apple Tree

Thanks to globalization we have apples all year long! 

Use this rhyme to teach your kids about the lives of migrant workers.

 

Rainbows and Space Totoros!

My library lets me put felt stuff in our display cases 

during the month of August.

This year I made a "Kawaii Spy" game:

Rockin' Humpty

I love this remix of Humpty Dumpty. It combines a version found on the KCLS website with a less violent, puddle/cuddle variation. Check out KCLS’s link to Intellidance videos. They are super relevant for upbeat library storytimes!

Five Little Hot Dogs

This rhyme goes well with a storytime about factory farming and safety in the meat-packing industry. I usually point out that these are actually tofu dogs.

Ask the kids to count their fingers on one hands and them begin. Clap on the "BAM!!" and throw the hot dog (and then finally the pan) into the air:

Five little hot dogs frying in a pan,

One got hot and it went, "BAM!!"

Ten Fluffy Chicks

Which came first? Well I made the eggs before I made the chicken, so consider the question answered.

Zoom, Zoom, Zoom

Spaceships are awesome! I added a couple extra lines and actions to the traditional Zoom Zoom Zoom.
