Pizza Story Time – Preschool

Opening Song

Book: Hoot Owl, Master of Disguise by Sean Taylor, illustrated by Jean Jullien

Song: “Make a Pizza” (Tune: “Shortnin’ Bread”)
I can make a pizza! You can, too!
Listen and you’ll know just what to do.

Every little baker loves mixing, mixing
Every little baker loves mixing dough!

Chorus:
Flour to the left, flour to the right
Now tie your apron nice and tight

Every little baker loves kneading, kneading
Every little baker loves kneading dough!

Every little baker loves tossing, tossing
Every little baker loves tossing dough!

Song: “If You Wanna Eat Some Pizza” (Tune: “If You’re Happy and You Know It”)
If you want to eat some pizza, clap your hands!
If you want to eat some pizza, clap your hands!
If you like bubbly cheese then just say, “Pizza please!”
If you want to eat some pizza, clap your hands!

Rhyme: “Pizza Man, Pizza Man”
Pizza man, pizza man turn around.
Pizza man, pizza man touch the ground.
Pizza man, pizza man reach up high.
Pizza man, pizza man touch the sky.
Pizza man, pizza man find your nose.
Pizza man, pizza man touch your toes.
Pizza man, pizza man find your knees.
Pizza man, pizza man sit down, please!
