Preschool Storytime
"Go, Shapes, Go!"
Opening Fingerplay: Big Books
Book: "Circle, Square, Moose"
*This book turned out to be so much fun to read! We had a moose that popped out behind our bulletin board to "interrupt" whenever the moose spoke up during the book. The kids caught on quickly and let me know whenever the moose peeked out, a great hit.
Fingerplay: "Shape Guessing Game"
*I took basic shapes and labeled them on the front, and on the flip side I had pictures of items. The kids then had to guess what was behind each one. For instance, our triangle was a watermelon and our circle was a cookie.
Book: "What Am I? Looking Through Shapes at Apples and Grapes"
*This book was a great one to read with our kids, they loved guessing what fruit is revealed. It's also an awesome book to help teach shapes and colors too.
Fingerplay/Flannel: "Baby Kangaroo, Behind Which Shape Are You?"
*Click here to visit the website that I found this great flannel on. I just used the shapes from the earlier flannel, and made a little baby kangaroo to hide behind the shapes.

Book: "Mouse Shapes"
*My new favorite shape book of all time! I made all of the characters in the book out of construction paper, and laminated them for the flannelboard. While I read the book, my volunteer placed them on the flannel. It was so cute, I can't wait to read it again!
Fingerplay: "Build a House With Shapes"
Some houses are wood and some are stone,
But let's build one with shapes alone.
Start with a square, but we won't stop.
Add a triangle up on the top.
Then a rectangle for the door.
Now square windows, 1, 2, 3, 4.
A circle is just for fun.
Now our shape house is all done!
*Here is the website where I found this adorable rhyme! My volunteer placed the items on the flannelboard as I read it. I asked the kids what they thought, and a little boy said, it needs a chimney! Priceless!

*As I started planning, I wasn't excited about shapes at all. Now, it's turned into one of my favorite themes! All of the books went over great and the kids loved this craft. I can't wait to do this theme again.
