"If You're Ready for a Story" song
[tune: If You're Happy and You Know it]
If you're ready for a story clap your hands!
If you're ready for a story clap your hands!
If you're ready for a story, then you're surly in your glory,
If you're ready for a story clap your hands!
[Repeat with Nod Your Head!, Sit So Still!, and Do All Three!]
"Who Am I?" action rhyme
I only like to fly at night (flap your arms like you're flying)
When the stars are shining bright (spirit fingers in the air)
When I sit high in my tree (make a circle above your head with your arms)
It's everything that I can see (circle your eyes with your hands)
My jacket's made of fluffy feathers (fluff your feathery jacket)
That can withstand all types of weather (shiver, fan your face)
My favorite word is Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! (say it out loud)
Now you know just what to do!
Who Am I?

"Wide-Eyed Owl" finger play
There’s a wide-eyed owl (circle your eyes with your hands)
With a pointed nose (make a beak with your fingers)
Two pointed ears (make ears with your fingers)
And claws for toes (wiggle your “claws”)
He lives way up in the tree (point way up)
And when he looks at you (point to children)
He flaps his wings (flap your wings)
And says, “Whoo! Whoo!” (say “whoo whoo”)
