ABC & 1-2-3 (Preschool)

Preschool Storytime
"ABC and 1-2-3"


Opening Fingerplay: Big Books

Book: "A Isn't for Fox"

*This book turned out to be a big hit!  I just had the kids call out letters, and I read only those pages, but they would have easily sat through the whole book.  Next time I will definitely make time for the whole book to be read.

Fingerplay/Flannel: "Ocean Animal Movement Cards"
*I can't find where I found mine, but they are different ocean animals printed up like flashcards.  We stood up and moved around for a bit.

Book: "Mouse Count"

*This book didn't go over as well as I had hoped, but I think that it was still enjoyed.  I used our puppet snake and ten little mice.  Instead of showing the pictures I told the story using the puppets.

Fingerplay/Flannel: "Five Little Fishes Swimming in the Sea"
*We propped up our five little fishes on our board, and when they get chomped by the alligator, our puppet came up out of the water and snapped them up!

Book/Flannel: "Hickory Dickory Dock"

*For this, I made a big clock, and propped it up on the board.  All the animals in the book made appearances, and the kids helped by clapping their hands when the clock struck each hour.

Fingerplay: "Alligator Story"
*Here is where I found this great alligator story.  I fed our alligator puppet magnetic letters as I told the story.  My favorite part is hearing a grandfather laugh with his granddaughter while I was telling this.  That's what I will always treasure about storytime, the memories that I am hopefully helping them make with each other.

Book: "Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons"

*A favorite book, and who doesn't love Pete the Cat!  We put up a coat with the four buttons on it.  As I read the book, a button was pulled off the flannel. I had small round circles cut out of construction paper.  When the button popped off, I threw handfuls of the circles out on the kids, representing the buttons flying.  They went crazy, and I did this for all four buttons.

Craft: Here is the website where we based our craft on.  We ended up only going through the number five.
