Song with frog puppet and bubbles:
There was a little frog,
His name was tiny Tim.
I put him in the bathtub,
To see if he could swim.
He drank up all the water,
He ate up all the soap,
And now he has a bubble in his throat.
So, when he said hello to ________________ he had a bubbles in his throat!
And when he said hello to _____________ he had bubbles in his throat.
(Ask parent if child is all right with bubbles being blown above their head and greet each child with bubbles.)
Song:
If you want to hear a story clap your hands,
If you want to hear a story clap your hands,
If you want to hear a story, if you want to hear a story,
If you want to hear a story clap your hands.
If you want to hear a story tell your friends shhhh!
If you want to hear a story tell your friends shhh!
If you want to hear a story, if you want to hear a story,
If you want to hear a story tell your friends shhh!
If you want to hear a story sit real still,
If you want to hear a story sit real still,
If you want to hear a story, if you want to hear a story,
If you want to hear a story sit real still.
