1. Introduction:
“Hello, welcome to lap-sit storytime. My name is Ms. Debbie and with me is Ms. Peggy. We are both so happy to see you are here today. We encourage you all to participate and to do the rhymes and songs with your children. You know your children best, so if they are not in the mood, don't force them, but do encourage them. Sometimes whey they see you joining in, they will too. We expect a fair amount of craziness during storytime, but that is okay. If your child becomes disruptive, please take him or her out of the program room, and join us again when your child has settled down. Don't feel bad, it is okay. Let's start with our opening song.
2. Opening Song:
It is Time to Say Hello
Lyrics:
It is time to say hello to all my friends.
It is time to say hello to all my friends.
It is time to say hello.
Give a smile, wink an eye.
It is time to say hello to all my friends.
(Credit: Jbrary. 2014, April 21).
3. Early Literacy Aside: Explain
Our early literacy tip of the day is on vocabulary. Having a good vocabulary, or knowing the meaning of words, is critical to your children being able to understand what they will later read. I will show you ways to help your children develop vocabulary through gestures and facial expressions today. p. 113)
4. Action Rhyme:
Pat-a-Cake
Hold your baby's hands while reciting the rhyme.
Lyrics:
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker’s man,
Bake me a cake as fast as you can.
Pat it and roll it and mark it with a B,
And put it in the oven for baby and me.(Childhood)

6. Sign Language:
Facing your child, use the sign for more, together, happy and friends.
Lyrics:
The more we get together
Together, together
The more we get together
The happier we'll be
'Cause your friends are my friends
And my friends are your friends
The more we get together
The happier we'll be

7. Action Song:
The Baby Hokey Pokey
You put your right hand in, you put your right hand out, (extend babies right hand in and out)
You put your right hand in, and you shake it all about! (extend babies right hand in and then shake babies right hand)
You do the hokey pokey, and you turn yourself around, (help baby dance in lap)
That’s what it’s all about!
You put your left hand in, you put your left hand out, (extend babies left hand in and out)
You put your left hand in, and you shake it all about! (extend babies left hand in and then shake babies left hand)
You do the hokey pokey, and you turn yourself around, (help baby dance in lap)
That’s what it’s all about!
(Adapted idea from State Library of Iowa. n.d.)
8. Early Literacy Aside: Example: When you hold your baby close and look at a book together, your baby will enjoy the snuggling and hearing your voice as well as the story. Feeling safe and secure with you while looking at a book builds your baby's confidence and love of reading (Credit: Reading Rockets.2013, December 20).

10. Flannel Board:
Star Light, Star Bright
Put a large star on the flannel board
Star light, star bright,
First star I see tonight,
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight
(Credit: childhood)
11. Action Song:
The Wheels on the Bus
Bounce your child gently as you sing the song to him/her.
The wheels on the bus go round and round, Round and round, round and round. (rotate hands round and round)
The wheels on the bus go round and round,
All through the town!
(Credit: childhood)
12. Early Literacy Aside: Empower: After our closing song, we are going to put out sand for you and your children to play with together. Here and at home children learn through play. It is good for them to explore on their own, bu they also learn from you. Describing what your child is doing as he or she is doing it, mentioning colors, size, using some words your child does not yet know helps your child develop vocabulary while having fun exploring. Those that have older children might want to go the backyard of our library and play in the sandbox. We have watering cans filled with water for you and child can use in the sandbox to make things. (Ghoting and Martin-Diaz, 2013,p. 118).
13. Closing Song
It is Time to Say Goodbye
Lyrics:
It is time to say goodbye to all my friends.
It is time to say goodbye to all my friends.
It is time to say goodbye.Give a smile, wink an eye.

14. End of Storytime Activity: Plastic bins will be placed on the tables for children to explore the feel of sand. Large sandbox is in the libraries back yard to play in also.
