Time to pick some berries!!
Picked a Berry
to the tune of Darling Clementine
Picked a strawberry, picked a strawberry that was growing in the sun.
Then I washed it, and I ate it. and I picked another one.
Change out blueberry, blackberry, raspberry and cherry as you pick them and pretend to eat them!
Here's another rhyme to use with the berries also.
Down in the Market
Down in the market at the end of the street, there are 5 ripe berries, so juicy and sweet.
Along comes a shopper with a nickel to pay. She buys the cherry and takes it away!
4...raspberry; 3...strawberry; 2...blueberry; 1...blackberry.
This theme resonated with the kiddos. They all like berries and around here it's strawberry picking time and the blueberries will soon be ready. We also played 'Which one is missing?' with the berries. That's always a big hit! This is one of my favorite themes for Storytime! Check out my other posts about berries Here and Here.
