Time for Two's Storytime
"Boxed In at Storytime"
Opening Fingerplay: Big Books
Fingerplay: "Here Is a Box"
Here is a box where something is hid
I wonder whatever is under the lid.
Let's listen for a shout.
And see who comes out!
(I pulled out a clipart of a rabbit to introduce our first story.)
Click here to go to the website where this great fingerplay is found. There are also other great ideas for a box storytime, including a flannel I used below.
Book: "Not a Box" (With props)
*This blog has the most precious idea for turning this book into a great storytelling book. I used a white box and hand drew the pictures inside the book, like they demonstrated. Our rabbit puppet helped as I hung my pictures on thumbtacks stuck into the outside of my box.
Action: "Box Cube Animal Actions"
*For this I just covered a box I had with posterboard, and then put animal movements on it. We rolled our box and then did whatever movement popped up.
Fingerplay: "Here Is a Box"
*This time I pulled out clipart of a lion from inside my box.
Storytelling: "Dear Zoo"
*Click here to get great clipart to turn this book into a version you can make interactive. I used velcro to place the boxes over the animals. After the kids tried to guess what the animal was that the zoo sent me, I lifted off the box and revealed the animal.
Fingerplay: "Little Fox, Little Fox"
Little fox, little fox, are you under the {pink} box?
*Where I found the great "Here is a Box" fingerplay also had this great flannel guessing game. The kids loved hunting for little fox.
Fingerplay: "Here Is a Box"
*This time I pulled out clipart of a bus from inside my box.
Fingerplay/Flannel: "Wheels on the Bus"
Fingerplay: "Here Is a Box"
*This time I would say that my box is empty! All the animals ran out of my box and inside my last book.
Book: "Who Is Smiling?"
*Sadly, I ran out of time to read this book to my group. Would you know by looking at the cover that it's a monkey inside smiling at you? All through the book you get little clues as to the animal, and the kids have to guess what animal is smiling at them.
*This website has a great zoo craft, and it gives you an idea of what you can do. Below is how we did our craft. The kids got to glue on the straw, banana and bars.
