Songs and Action Rhymes:

Storytime Child's Here Today

Tune "The Farmer in the Dell"
Fill in child's name.

Donell's here today,
Donell's here today.
Let's all clap our hands and say,
Hip, hip, hooray!


The Goodbye Rap

Wave high, wave low,
I think it's time we gotta go.
Wave your elbows, wave your toes,
Wave your tongue and wave your nose,
Wave your knees, wave your lips,
Blow a kiss with fingertips.
Wave your ears, wave your hair,
Wave your belly and derriere,
Wave your chin, wave your eye,
wave your hand and say "goodbye."
