Beat Your Drums
(To the tune of "Row Your Boat")
Beat, beat, beat your drums
Beat them loud and clear
Beat them hard and beat them soft
For everyone to hear

Beat, beat, beat your drums
Beat them all around
Beat them hard and beat them soft
Now don't make a sound.

Jingle Bells
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to play at
Storytime today! (repeat chorus)

Are You Sleeping
Are you sleeping, are you sleeping
Brother John? Brother John?
Morning bells are ringing, morning bells are ringing,
Ding dang dong, Ding dang dong.

Hokey Pokey (with shakers)
You shake your shaker up, you shake your shaker down
You shake your shaker up, and you shake it all around
You do the hokey pokey, and you turn yourself around
That’s what it’s all about!
(more verses can include: left/right, front/back, etc.)

And this is what he said, “ROAR!”

And spread Christmas cheer.
