Good morning and welcome to story time. I’m Miss Sharon, and today we’re going to read about noise! Think about some of the noises you hear everyday. Cars and trucks, a dog barking, or a bird chirping – maybe a baby sister or brother crying. Noise is everywhere!
Opening Song: The More We Get Together
The more we get together, together, together,
the more we get together, the happier we’ll be.
Cause your friends are my friends,
and my friends are your friends,
the more we get together the happier we’ll be!

Flannel: Five Noisy Robots
5 noisy robots in the 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: The Noisy Monster Song
This is the way a monster goes, (stomp like a monster)
He has big feet, (lift and shake each foot)
And furry toes, (wiggle your toes)
He stamps a lot, (stamp feet)
His feet go bang, (clap hands loudly)
And when he smiles, (make a toothy smile)
He shows his fangs! (gnash your teeth!)
This is the way a monster goes, (stomp like a monster)
With goggly eyes and a (peek through circled fingers)
Very big nose! (gesture a big nose)
With spiky horns and (gesture big horns on head)
Big sharp claws, (hold fingers out like claws)
And terrible breath (waft hand under nose)
Whenever he ROARS! (roar loudly!)

Action Rhyme: Loud and Quiet
Quietly, quietly not a sound
I’m listening and I’m listening
As I look around
No sounds as I nod (nod)
No sounds as I clap (clap)
No sounds as I tap my hands on my lap (tap)
Loudly, loudly, stamp and clap (stamp and clap)
Loudly, loudly, stamp and clap (stamp and clap)
Loudly, loudly, stamp and clap (stamp and clap)
All that noise, well fancy that!

Song: Skinnamarink
Skinnamarinky dinky-dink (Put your left elbow in right hand, wave)
Skinnamarinky Doo (Right elbow in left hand, wave)
I (Point to eye)
Love (Cross your arms over your heart)
You! (Point to audience)
Skinnamarinky dinky-dink (Left elbow in right hand)
Skinnamarinky Doo (Right elbow in left hand, wave)
I (Point to your eye)
Love (Cross arms in front of heart)
You! (Point to audience)
I love you in the morning (Cross arms above your head)
And in the afternoon (Cross arms around your chest)
I love you in the evening (Cross around your tummy)
And underneath the moon! (Cross arms above head again)
Skinnamarinky dinky-dink (Left arm in right hand, wave)
Skinnamarinky doo (Right arm in left hand, wave)

Love (Cross arms in front of heart)
You (Point to audience)
Too (Show two fingers)
Boo boop we doo! (Wave and kiss!)

Craft: Paper Plate Noise Maker
Craft kits are available to pick up in the Youth Services department or the drive-up window while supplies last.
Kit supplies:
- Large paper plate
- Dried beans
What you’ll need from home:
- Crayons/markers
- Stapler/tape
Directions:
- Color and decorate the back of your paper plate.
- Fold the paper plate in half and staple well around the edges. Leave a hole open at the top.
- Add the dried beans to the plate through the hole. Staple the hole shut. Make sure that you staple close enough together to prevent the beans from escaping.
Note: If you do not have a stapler, you can use tape.
