Robots Story Time – Preschool

Opening song

Book: Little Robot Alone by Patricia MacLachlan and Emily MacLachlan Charest, illustrated by Matt Phelan


Song:
 “The Robot Song” (Tune: “The Wheels on the Bus”)
The arms of the robot swing up and down,
Up and down, up and down,
The arms of the robot swing up and down,
All around the room.

Additional verses:
The legs of the robot move back and forth…
The head of the robot turns side to side…
The buttons on the robot blink on and off…
The voice of the robot says beep, beep, beep…

Flannel: Five Noisy Robots
Five noisy robots in the big toy shop,
Shiny and tall with antennae on the top.
Along came a girl with a penny one day.
Bought a noisy robot and took it away.

Song: “I’m a Little Robot” (Tune: “I’m a Little Teapot”)
I’m a little robot, short and strong,
Here are my handles, just turn me on. (put fists on hips for handles, then push your sticker “button”)
When I get all warmed up, watch me go.
Sometimes fast, sometimes slow. (march in place fast and then slow)

Book Sing Along: If You’re a Robot and You Know It by David Carter (Tune: “If You’re Happy and You Know It”)

Flannel: Five Shiny Robots
Five shiny robots, playing marbles on the floor,
One went home and then there were four,
Four shiny robots, playing in a tree,
One went home and then there were three,
Three shiny robots with nothing left to do,
One went home and then there were two,
Two shiny robots, think of something fun,
One went home and there was one,
One shiny robot pretending to be a hero,
His mother called him home and then there were zero!

Song: “Robot, Robot” (Tune: “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”)
Robot, robot, turn around.
Robot, robot, touch the ground.
Robot, Robot, turn left and right.
Robot, Robot, flash your lights.
Robot, Robot, bloop and bleep.
Robot, Robot, go to Sleep.
