I like the action rhyme “Green Says Go” a lot. It’s from Tod­dler Sto­ry­time via Sto­ry­time Katie’s great list­ing of songs and rhymes. It works well for transportation-related sto­ry­times (see Trans­porta­tion Sto­ry­time (tod­dler) and Vehi­cles Sto­ry­time (preschool)) as well as colour themes.

I did it a cou­ple of times with just the 3 coloured cir­cles, but the tran­si­tion between the colours was a lit­tle awk­ward so I made this dou­ble wide back­ground with flaps. After review­ing the colours and order of traf­fic lights, I close the flaps and then open the flaps accord­ing to the rhyme.

Action Rhyme: “Green Says Go”
Green says, “Go!” (march quickly)
Go! Go! Go!
Yel­low says, “Slow!” (march slowly)
Slow…slow…slow
And red says, “Stop!” (stop and freeze)
Go! Go! Go! (march fast)
Slow…slow…slow (march slowly)
and STOP! (stop)
