Opposite Day

This week Storytime was at both Little Lambs and the Library. Storytime at Little Lambs consists of 20 minutes of stories, songs, and games. This week's game at Little Lambs was playing follow the leader with multi-cultural puppets. I sang a song about opposites and they copied what I did (jump high, crouch low, run in place, stand still, etc.). The children got a big kick out of that! Now for the set-list:

Signs of the day were up and down.
"Hello, How are You" by Dr. Jean
Counting Rope

Here a Chick, There Chick by Bruce McMillan

Turn-Around by Hap Palmer on his CD, Getting to Know Myself

Black? White! Day? Night! by Laura Vaccaro Seeger











A quick Opposites Poem I made up. We acted it out with puppets they chose from the puppet tree.
Up, down, turn around.
In, out, turn about.
Near, far...STAND WHERE YOU ARE!
Here, there, everywhere.
Stand, sit. That's it.
