Herman the Worm - Vegan Version

One of my family storytime programs this summer will be about "Worms." This theme ties in with the summer reading program theme, "Dig into Reading."

It's been a few years since I used my version of "Herman the Worm."  Unfortunately I do not remember where I got the clip art but it is easy enough to find a suitable worm. I just enlarged the same figure several times. I did write my own version of "Herman" which follows:

Notes from the Story Room

  

                                           Sitting on my fence post

                                           Chewing bubble gum

                                           Playing with my yo-yo

                                           When along came Herman the worm.

                                           I said, "Hi, Herman."

                                           He said, "Hi, kid."

                                           Sitting on my fence post

                                           Chewing bubble gum                 

                                           Playing with my yo-yo

                                           When along came Herman the worm

                                           And he was this big.

                                           I said, "Herman, what happened?"

                                           And he said, "I ate a grape."

                                           Sitting on my fence post

                                           Chewing bubble gum

                                           And he was this big.

                                           I said, "Herman, what happened?"

                                           And he said, "I ate an apple."

                                           I said, "Herman, what happened?"

                                           And he said, "I burped!"

For those of you who are not familiar with Herman, you spread your arms out more and more each time you say "And he was this big" except for the last verse.  Also, remove the smaller Herman and replace him with a larger one if you are using flannel/magnet board figures. For the last verse, replace the largest worm with the smallest.
