Preschool Storytime - July 10, 2008

In honor of the Tour de France, this week we read stories about bikes!

We read:

Duck on a Bike by David Shannon

Let's Go, Froggy! by Jonathan London

Curious George Rides a Bike by H. A. Rey

	and...
Mrs. Armitage on Wheels by Quentin Blake

And we did 2 Action Rhymes:

We Are Going on a Bike Ride

We are going on a bike ride.
Wheels on the bike go round and round.
Steer it straight and pedal steady,
But now look what we found.

Pothole (dip hands quickly downward)

Bumps (move hands quickly upward)

Branches (move hands to side, as if swerves from branch)

Hill (move hands upward and slow rolling motion of hands, then move downward and speed up rolling motion)

My Bicycle

One wheel, two wheels, on the ground. (Form circles with hands.)
My feet push the pedals round and round. (Roll one hand over the other.)
My hands upon the bar to steer, (Imitate holding handlebars.)
Watch out, I'm coming, everyone clear! (Imitate driving bicycle.)
