Welcome songs are a great way to gather children together and focus their attention on the Story Time. You can use the same one at every Story Time, or switch it up.
Goodbye songs provide a sense of closure, and end the Story Time on a good note.
Transition songs are wonderful tools to regain children's attention, or keep them occupied while doing a task. For example, singing a transition song is a great way to calm children down before sitting back down to read a story. They are also useful to sing while collecting scarves or shaker eggs.
