Preschool Storytime
Opening: Big Books
App: Guess Jungle Sounds!
*I love using animal sounds in my storytime, and a jungle sounds app was the perfect thing to use. The kids knew the jungle animal sounds right away, which was great! I hope to incorporate more apps into storytime this fall, because this was so much fun!
Book: Who Woke the Baby?
*The kids loved this book, especially repeating all the animal noises with me. You will fall in love with the illustrations in this book, because they are truly breathtaking.
Fingerplay: Jungle Animal Action Cards
*One of our favorite activities is standing up and acting like animals!
Book: Bearum Scarum
*I am head over heels in love with this book, and thankfully the kids really loved it too! I was really worried to use the word hunter, but everything went great. What I did was print out ten adorable hunters and placed them on rulers. Then I had my volunteer prop them up behind me on the puppet stage. As I read the book, an animal would sneak up behind me and take down a hunter, just like it happens in the book. At the end, the very last hunter runs away, so we all patted our legs to help the hunter run! This book is really cute, and I'm so glad that it went over well!
Fingerplay/Flannel: Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed
Book: Who Made Me Jump?
*The kids really liked this book, but I only wish it was much bigger. I have to give my kids credit, they are very smart and figured out all the animals by just looking at their eyes. As you can tell on the cover of the book, you guess what animal made Hugo the hummingbird jump!
Fingerplay: Lion Hiding Behind Door Guessing Game
Lion, lion, behind a door.
When we find you, let’s give a ROAR!!!!
*We ran out of time today to hunt our lion.
Action: We’re Going on a Lion Hunt!
*We ended storytime by trying to catch a jungle animal in my handy-dandy butterfly net!
Our craft today was a snake that was made from the letter "S". The kids had so much fun taking that snake and making it slither and hiss around! The kids glued everything down on the snake except for the wiggly eyes!

*I love this book, and a lift-the-flap book is always a good choice with the two's.
Fingerplay/Flannel: Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed
*I didn't intentionally plan it, but two of my books were singing books! We had fun picking up the animals on our bus and singing.
