Hi everyone! How are you feeling today? Are you ready for a fun story? Today, we have a special book called “When’s My Birthday?” Let’s find out what it’s all about!
Have you ever asked, “When’s my birthday?” My son asks me this all the time because his birthday is coming soon. Do you get excited about your birthday too?
In the book “When’s My Birthday?” by Julie Fogliano and Christian Robinson, we explore all the fun questions about birthdays!
When’s my birthday? Where is my birthday? How many days until my birthday? Will it be on a Tuesday? Will it be in winter or spring? Will there be singing and dancing? Will we jump up and down with joy?
What do you want for your birthday? Maybe a pony, a necklace, or a bouncing ball? How about a big chocolate cake with lots of candles? How old are you going to be?
On my birthday, I want to make wishes and get lots of kisses. I love berries and tiny sandwiches with soup. Yum!
Guess what? You’re invited to my birthday! You can wear fancy dresses, fuzzy slippers, a hat with feathers, or even a helmet. Let’s have fun together!
Is it almost my birthday? I’m so excited! I can’t sleep because I’m waiting for my birthday. I’m dreaming about it!
Finally, it’s my birthday! Time for cake and fun! Happy, happy day to me!
When’s your birthday? Mine is in January. What’s your favorite thing to do on your birthday? Do you have a favorite birthday cake?
Thank you for joining us for “When’s My Birthday?” Remember to read lots of books and have fun! See you next time. Bye-bye!
Birthday Calendar Craft: Let’s make a birthday calendar! Gather some colorful paper, markers, and stickers. Help the children create a calendar by drawing the months of the year on separate sheets of paper. Ask them to write their birthdays and the birthdays of their family members and friends on the calendar. Encourage them to decorate each month with drawings or stickers that remind them of birthdays. This activity helps children understand the concept of time and anticipation for special days.
Birthday Countdown Chain: Create a countdown chain to help visualize the days until their next birthday. Provide strips of colored paper and show the children how to make a paper chain by linking the strips together. Each link represents one day. Every day, they can remove one link from the chain, getting closer to their birthday. This hands-on activity helps children practice counting and understand the passage of time.
Birthday Wishes Discussion: Gather the children in a circle and ask them to share their birthday wishes. What would they like to do or receive on their special day? Encourage them to think about non-material wishes too, like spending time with family or playing their favorite game. This discussion helps children express their desires and understand the importance of both tangible and intangible gifts.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hi everyone! Welcome back to the Story Time Family. How are you all today? Are we feeling good? [Music]
Are we ready for a new book? Well, today we have “When’s My Birthday?” I bet you’ve asked this question many times. My son has been asking me this a lot lately because guess what? His birthday is coming up in two weeks, and he won’t stop talking about it! I bet you’re the same, or are you?
Well, let’s see what “When’s My Birthday?” is about.
“When’s My Birthday?” by Julie Fogliano and Christian Robinson.
When’s my birthday? Where is my birthday? How many days until my birthday? Will my birthday be on a Tuesday? Will my birthday be tomorrow? Will my birthday be in winter? Will my birthday be in spring? Will my birthday have some singing? Will we sing so happy? Will we dance around and around? Will we jump and jump and jump?
When’s my birthday? Where’s my birthday? How many days until my birthday?
I like a pony for my birthday and a necklace for my birthday. I like a chicken for my birthday. I like a ball to bounce and bounce. What would you like for your birthday?
I like a big cake on my birthday with lots of chocolate and lots of candles—one, two, three, four, five, and six. How old are you?
I’ll lay some wishes on my birthday. I like some kisses on my birthday. I like some berries on my birthday and tiny sandwiches with soup.
And you’re invited to my birthday, and she’s invited to my birthday, and he’s invited to my birthday, and you, and you, and you!
You can wear your fancy dresses or your fuzzy slippers, or you can wear a hat with feathers or a helmet. But the cake, if it ever is my birthday, will it never be my birthday? Is it almost happy birthday? Happy, happy day to me!
When’s my birthday? Where’s my birthday? How many days until my birthday?
In the morning, it’s my birthday. I’m not sleeping till my birthday. I’m just waiting till my birthday. I’m just yawning till my birthday. I’m just dreaming of my birthday.
Happy snore and snore to me! It’s the daytime. Here’s my birthday! Happy, happy time for cake! Wakey, wakey!
