Robots Story Time – Preschool

Opening Song

Book: Bitty Bot by Tim McCanna

Rhyme: Robot, Robot
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.

Book/Song: If You’re a Robot and You Know It by David A. Carter

Song: 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…

Opening Song

Sign Language: robot

Book: Bitty Bot by Tim McCanna

Song: Counting sheep (Tune: “This Old Man”)
Counting sheep, counting sheep
Helps my baby go to sleep

One sheep, two sheep
Three sheep, four —
Soon my baby
Starts to snore

Song/Rhyme: Two Little Robots
Two little robots sitting on a hill (hold up two fingers)
One named Jack, and one named Jill (wiggle each finger)
Beep away Jack, Boop away Jill (hide one hand, then the other behind your back)
Beep back Jack, Boop back Jill (bring one hand out in front of you, then the other one)

Book/Song: If You’re a Robot and You Know It by David A. Carter

Song/Rhyme: Away Up High
Away up high in the apple tree (lift baby)
I saw a little baby smiling at me
I shook that tree as hard as I could (shake gently)
Down came the baby (bring down)
Mmm, was she good! (Kiss) 

Song/Rhyme: The Moon is Round
The moon is round
As round can be
Two eyes
A nose
And a mouth like me!
