Grandparents Story Time – Everybody

Opening Song

Book: Grandma’s Tiny House by JaNay Brown-Wood, illustrated by Priscilla Burris

Fingerplay: “Grandma and Grandpa”
Here are Grandma’s glasses, (make little circles with fingers over eyes to resemble glasses)
Here is Grandma’s hat, (circle head and pretend to be tying ribbon underneath chin)
This is the way she folds her hands and puts them in her lap. (fold hands sweetly on lap)

Here are Grandpa’s glasses, (make circles bigger than grandma’s)
Here is Grandpa’s hat, (make a big hat overhead with hands and arms)
This is the way he folds his arms and sits like that. (fold arms across chest, lean back in chair and cross one knee over other)

Song: “The Wheels on the Bus”
The wheels on the bus go round and round,
Round and round,
Round and round.
The wheels on the bus go round and round
All through the town!

Additional verses:
Horn/beep-beep-beep
Wipers/swish-swish-swish
Doors/open and shut
Babies/up & down
Parents/I love you

Song: “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes”
Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes,
Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes,
Eyes and ears and mouth and nose,
Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes.
