Breakfast Story Time – Everybody

Opening Song

Book: Bear’s Big Breakfast by Lynn Rowe Reed, illustrated by Brett Helquist

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

Action Song: “Bananas Unite!”
Bananas unite! (put your hands above your head so your body makes a banana shape)
Sing each line twice.
Peel bananas, peel, peel bananas. (“peel” your arms down to your sides)
Chop bananas, chop, chop bananas. (hold one hand straight up and down and chop on the other hand)
Mash bananas, mash, mash bananas. (make one hand into a fist and mash the other hand)
Eat bananas, eat, eat bananas. (pretend to eat)
Go bananas, go, go bananas! (do a silly dance)

So you’ll be a happy fellow,
If you like your eggs scrambled, clap your hands.
