Haaaiiii Ya!

Are you secretly a ninja? Can you sneak through the night like a shadow? Are you an expert in surprise attacks? 

This week is Ninja week at Handley Regional Library Storytimes! Bring your little ninja-in-training to one of our three library branches, Bowman, Clarke County, or Handley to hear some stealth stories of ninja warriors. 

Don't forget to grab some ninja books with the help of the tag: #ninjawarriors. You can act out some sneak attacks and explore movement with the ninja fun, singing some songs that explore action words, counting, and even create a ninja face with some common shapes with the rhyme and songs below. 

Make a NINJA! Cut out shapes to go with the following rhyme:

Do you see a ninja? I do.
To make a ninja, first we need a head.
This one is round and red.
The rectangle will make a space,
Just big enough for a peeking out face.
Next we’ll add two small circles for eyes
And two tiny rectangles, to make our ninja look surprised!

If You’re a Ninja and You Know It!
Tune: If You’re Happy and You Know it

If you’re a ninja and you know it,
Be really quiet.  (Shhh!)
If you’re a ninja and you know it,
Be really quiet.  (Shhh!)
If you’re a ninja and you know it,
then your face will surely show it.
If you’re a ninja and you know it,
Be really quiet.  (Shhh!) Continue with:
If you’re a ninja and you know it…walk on tip toe (Tip Toe)
If you’re a ninja and you know it…say HIYAH (HIYAH!)
 
Ninja, Ninja Sneak Around
Tune: Teddy Bear

Ninja, ninja – sneak around.
Ninja, ninja – roll on the ground.
Ninja, ninja – climb up high.
Ninja, ninja – touch the sky.
Ninja, ninja – jump down low.
Ninja, ninja – touch your toe.

Five Little Ninjas
5 little ninjas creeping through the door,
One said HIYAH, and then there were four.
4 little ninjas, climbing up a tree,
One said HIYAH, and then there were three.
3 little ninjas with nothing to do,
One said HIYAH, and then there were two.
2 little ninjas, having so much fun.
One said HIYAH, and then there was one.
1 little ninja, on the run.
He said HIYAH, and then there were none.
