Preschool Storytime
"Ahoy Pirates!"
Opening Fingerplay: Big Books
Book: "Pirate's Perfect Pet" (With props)
*This book was so much fun to read to the kids! Near the end of the book the parrot poops on the pirate. Of course, I had to dress up in my pirate costume, and the parrot was above my head. We took a piece of batting and had it land on my head. Several of the grown-ups laughed along with the kids when I started screaming. By far a new favorite pirate book of mine!
Fingerplay/Flannel: "Five Little Pirates Jumping on the Ship"
Five little pirates jumping on the ship
One fell off and took a dip.
The captain yelled out on his sip,
No more pirates jumping on my ship!
-Continue singing until no more pirates, then:
No little pirates jumping on the ship,
The captain's all alone with a pouting lip.
The pirates climb aboard and drip, drip, drip.
Back to work, let's sail our ship!
*Here is where I found this great rhyme, along with a lot of other great pirate fingerplays. When the pirates take a dip we sprayed the kids with water and they went crazy!
Book: "Pirate Treasure Hunt!"
*This is such a great interactive book and it reads just like "We're Going on a Bear Hunt". The ending is precious because it shows kids that the true treasure is books, of course! We hid our books inside a real treasure chest that a co-worker let me borrow.
Flannel: "Make-a-Pirate"
*Click here to view the flannel I made for this. The kids had lots of fun telling me everything that I did wrong and correcting me with this flannel.
Fingerplay: "If You're a Pirate and You Know It"
If you're a pirate and you know it, wash the deck (swish, swish)
If you're a pirate and you know it, wash the deck (swish, swish)
If you're a pirate and you know it, then your face will surely show it.
If you're a pirate and you know it, wash the deck (swish, swish)
Continue with: walk the plank, stomp stomp & say ahoy!
*We didn't have time to sing this one today, but it's always a great one to do.
It's Dolly Parton Imagination Library week here in Tennessee, and I was asked to help promote it. So we read a book that was on one of the lists.
Book: "Pouch"
*This book turned out to be so much fun to read. I used a coloring page of a kangaroo and made this flannelboard, which you can see here. The kids loved being able to hop, and we counted aloud as we hopped up and down.
This website is where we found the idea for our paper bag pirate. For the girls, we laid out a braid on the table, to help them turn their pirate into a girl. Below is a picture of our craft.
Extra Read-Alouds:
Pirates Love Underpants
Pirates Lullaby
Port Side Pirates
This Little Pirate
Vitricia Malicia: Book-Loving Buccaneer
How could I end my pirate post without a picture of my loot? This is the wonderful pirate chest my co-worker let me borrow, with my books of course! Anytime I can dress up for storytime is always a winner with me! Until next time mateys!
