Hands Go Up
An ideal opener and closer for Preschool / Kindergarten storytimes. Tune is "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." (Kids must be on their feet to start.)
Here's the opening version.
|
Hands go up, and hands go down.
I can turn around and around.
I can hop upon one shoe.
I can nod and so can you.
I can sit; I'll show you how.
Storytime is starting now.
|
(raise arms; lower arms)
(twirl with arms outstretched for balance)
(hop)
(nod, pointing to self, then pointing to audience)
(sit down)
|
And here's the ending version. (Be sure to explain that pau means finished in Hawaiian.)
|
Hands go up, and hands go down.
I can turn around and around.
I can hop upon one shoe.
I can nod and so can you.
I can wave; I'll show you how.
Storytime is now all pau.*

(raise arms; lower arms)
(twirl with arms outstretched for balance)
(hop)
(nod, pointing to self, then pointing to audience)
(wave)

* finished
If, for some reason, you don't want to use the Hawaiian word, use "Storytime is over now" as the last line.
