Introduction Song: Open Shut Them
Open, shut them,
Open, shut them
Give a little clap, clap, clap
Open, shut them, open, shut them
Lay them in your lap, lap, lap
Creepy crawly, creepy crawly,
Right up to your chin, chin, chin
Open up your little mouth
But do not let them in, in in

5 Happy Puppies (Flannel board)
Five happy puppies were playing in the sun.
This one saw a rabbit, and he began to run.
Four curious puppies were playing in the sun.
This one saw a butterfly, and he began to race.
Three excited puppies, playing in the sun.
This one saw an orange cat, and he began to chase.
Two bored puppies were lying in the sun.
This one tried to catch his tail, and he went round and round.
One lonely puppy, sitting all alone.
He was so quiet, he never made a sound.

Kitty-cat, kitty-cat, slap your knees
Kitty-cat, kitty-cat, sit down please

Song with Shakers: Jim Gill - Shakin' Everywhere
kids love this song! Jim Gill tells kids to start shaking from their head to their toes, starting with shaking their hair. It's a lot of fun and one I use often in storytime.
Closing Song (to tune of the Mulberry Bush)
This is the way our hands say goodbye
With a clap clap-clap
Clap, clap-clap.
This is the way our hands say goodbye
With a clap, clap-clap ,clap-clap.
This is the way our knees say goodbye
With a tap tap-tap.
Tap tap-tap.
This is the way our knees say goodbye
With a tap tap-tap, tap-tap.
This is the way we wave goodbye
Wave goodbye, wave goodbye
This is the way we wave goodbye
Goodbye until next time.
