Storytime Outline - Mustaches

     This is a storytime outline for an actual storytime we led at our library with preschool students. We use the same opening and closing song each time and then tailor the rest of the program to the theme. This theme is Mustaches! 

Storytime – I MUSTACHE you a question... 


Welcome Song: Clap and Sing Hello! (Tune: Farmer in the Dell) 

We clap and sing hello, 
We clap and sing hello, 
With our friends at storytime, 
We clap and sing hello!

Song: If You’re Happy and You Know It... 

If you’re happy and you know it read a book (read a book) 
If you’re happy and you know it read a book (read a book) 
If you’re happy and you know it and you really want to show it 
If you’re happy and you know it read a book (read a book) 

 

If you’re happy and you know it turn the page (turn the page) 
If you’re happy and you know it turn the page (turn the page) 
If you’re happy and you know it and you really want to show it 
If you’re happy and you know it turn the page (turn the page) 

 

If you’re happy and you know it whisper “hurray!” (hurray) 
If you’re happy and you know it whisper “hurray!” (hurray) 
If you’re happy and you know it and you really want to show it 
If you’re happy and you know it whisper “hurray!” (hurray)

Song: Ten Little Mustaches (Tune: Ten Little Indians) 

One little, two little, three little mustaches 

Four little, five little, six little mustaches 

Seven little, eight little, nine little mustaches 

Ten little mustaches under your nose

Flannel: Mr. Lou's Mustache 

 
There once lived a man named Mr. Lou, 
He had a mustache that grew, and GREW! 
By Monday, it was as tiny as his nose, 
By Tuesday, on and on it grows! 
By Wednesday, it stretched as far as his ears! 
By Thursday, it looked as if it had grown for years 
But on Friday Mr. Lou caught the flu… 
ACHOOOO! 
and off went the mustache—it flew and FLEW! 

Closing Song: We Wave Goodbye Like This (Tune: Farmer in the Dell) 

 
We wave goodbye like this. 
We wave goodbye like this. 
We clap our hands for all our friends. 
We wave goodbye like this.
