Bread & Butter

Dragon image with stars and musical notes in the background.

Bread & Butter + Dragon Version
Tune: Bread and Butter

This is one of my favourite rhymes to get kids engaged at the beginning of storytime. I love that it gives me the opportunity to alter the volume and pitch of my voice to get kids playing with sound.

It’s also great to adapt to any theme: dragons (roar sounds are very fun), sleepy (you can do a yawning version), silly, etc. It’s an infinitely adaptable little piece and can be included with or without clapping on thighs or hands. Scroll down for more options!

Bread and butter, marmalade and jam,

let’s say hello like a dragon if we can!
Roar-roar-roar-roar friends!
