When you want the children to come to the rug for story time or other large group activity, sing this transition song to the tune of “Sing a Song of Sixpence”:


It's time to watch and listen;

We're going to read a book.

We'll sit down on the rug

and use our eyes to look.

We'll look at the pictures and hear the words too.

Oh, what fun it is to share this book with you.


Change the words to fit whatever activity you are doing in large group.
