Opening Song
If you want to hear a story, clap your hands!
If you want to hear a story, clap your hands!
If you want to hear a story,

if you want to hear a story, clap your hands!

Stomp your feet
Nod your head
If you’re ready for a story, take a seat
If you’re ready for a story, take a seat
If you’re ready for a story
Make your hands all nice and neat
If you’re ready for a story, take a seat

Penguins










One little penguin in the snow
Waddles fast and waddles slow
Flaps his wings and calls, “Come on,
Join me in this winter fun!”

Two little penguins in the snow
Waddle fast and waddle slow
Flap their wings and call, “Come on,
Join us in this winter fun!”

Rhyme
Snow is falling all around
All around all around
Snow is falling all around
Hooray for winter

Take the snow and roll it round
roll it round roll it round
Take the snow and roll it round
Hooray for winter

Now let’s have a snowball fight
Snowball fight, snowball fight
Now let’s have a snowball fight
Hooray for winter
