| Action Song | During the Night During the night I know that, Stars twinkle in the sky. (Flutter fingers high in the air) Bats fly and swoop through the air.(Flap arms like wings) Owls flap their wings before saying, “Who-Who.” (Tuck arms to the side and flap them) Cats jump from place to place. Jump from place to place. (Jump) Opossums climb up trees. (Pretend to climb) Raccoons run across the grass. (Run in place) Wolves howl at the moon. (Howl) And I lie in my bed to sleep. (Place hands to the side of your head). Source: Artsy Toddler Storytimes |
