Monster Mash Story Time

Sing Along Story:   There was an old Monster by Rebecca, Adrian & Ed Emberley
Action Rhyme:   The Monster Stomp
 

(Look as scary as you can be, gnash your terrible teeth, show your terrible claws & match actions to words.)

If you want to be a monster, now here's your chance
'Cause everybody's doing the monster dance.
You just stamp your feet, Water your arms around,
Stretch 'em up, stretch 'em up,
Then put them on the ground,
'Cause you're doing the monster stomp.
Ooh-Ah-Ooh-Ah-Ooh-Ah-Ooh-Ah!
Ooh-Ah-Ooh-Ah-Ooh-Ah-Ooh-Ah!

If you’re an elephant & you know it, stomp your feet.

Repeat:

Parrot…flap your wings

Crocodile…snap your jaws

Lion…roar out loud
