Fun Outdoors Story Time – Preschool

Opening Song

Book: We Love Fishing! by Ariel Bernstein, illustrated by Marc Rosenthal

Puppet Rhyme: “Sleeping Bag Rhyme”
I was lying in my sleeping bag – I couldn’t go to sleep.
I looked at my watch, and wanted to weep!
So, I rolled to the left and I rolled to the right,
But all I could hear were noises in the night!
I hear an owl! Whoo whoo whoo
(Repeat with mouse, cat, wolf, etc.)

Song: “A Camping We Will Go” (Tune: “The Farmer in the Dell”)

A camping we will go, A camping we will go, Hi Ho the dairy o! A camping we will go.
We fix the tent right here. We fix the tent right here. Hi Ho the dairy o! We fix the tent right here.
We’re crawling to the tent. We’re crawling to the tent. Hi Ho the dairy o! We’re crawling to the tent.
We’re having lots of fun! We’re having lots of fun! Hi Ho the dairy o! We’re having lots of fun!
