Opening Song

Book: Little Mouse’s Big Breakfast by Christine Pym

Fingerplay: “Five Fat Sausages”
Five fat sausages frying in a pan. (hold up 5 fingers)
All of a sudden, one went BANG! (clap hands)

Repeat, counting down until there are no sausages left.

Last line:
Now there are no fat sausages frying in the pan.

Song: “I’m Toast in the Toaster” (Tune: “I’m a Little Teapot”)
I’m toast in the toaster, (like holding a loaf of bread)
And I’m getting very hot! (fan yourself)
Tick, tock, tick, tock, (move hands back and forth)
Up I pop! (jump in the air and raise hands)

Repeat with: waffles, Pop-tarts, English muffins, bagels

Book: Hey, Pancakes! by Tamson Weston, illustrated by Stephen Gammell

Movement: “Pancakes”
Mix a pancake,
Stir a pancake,
Pop it in a pan.
Fry a pancake,
Toss a pancake,
Catch it if you can!

Flannel: “Eggs for Breakfast”

Song: “If You Like Your Eggs Scrambled” (Tune: “If You’re Happy and You Know It”)
If you like your eggs scrambled, clap your hands.
If you like your eggs scrambled, clap your hands.
Yes, they’re yummy and they’re yellow,
So you’ll be a happy fellow.
If you like your eggs scrambled, clap your hands.

Additional verses:
If you like your eggs fried, jump up high…
If you want bacon with your eggs, wiggle your legs…
If you want toast instead, nod your head… (nod and say “mmm-hmmm”)
