Many thanks to Jill Patchin of the L.E. Phillips Memorial Public Library in Eau Claire for this guest post:
I have XM radio in my car and a 2 year old, so we listen to
Kids Place Live quite a bit (and I confess to listening to it even after I drop
him off at day care!). I have discovered lots of fun new songs that I may
be able to use in storytime, or just songs that I love. Here you go!
Moose on the Loose from the new album Ozokidz by the group
Ozomatli
No one in the consortium has this yet. It is so much
fun! You could maybe use it with shakers, or just listen to it incessantly at
your desk and chair dance.
Everybody Eats When They Come to My House by Cab Calloway
Chicken Monkey Duck by Mike Phirman.
This would be a fun
song to do popsicle puppets with. Divide the group into thirds and each
is a chicken, monkey or duck. Raise your puppet when the song says your
animal. Or no puppets, just raise your arms.
Labels: music, storytime
