Pizza! – Preschool Storytime “Splat the Cat” from Splat the Cat…and Other Furry Friends! MOVEMENT: “If You’re Happy and You Know It” from Children’s Favorite Songs Volume 3 from Walt Disney Ran around so fast! (Roll hands with cat and mouse around each other) Got caught at last (have cat catch mouse)īecause that GREAT BIG CAT (say “great big cat” in a big voice) Until that teeny tiny mouse (say “teeny little mouse” in a small squeaky voice) In a tall, tall house!

This helped prep the fact that the cat wasn’t going to be saying what you expected it to.
