Preschool Storytime
Opening: Big Books
Book: Sheep Go to Sleep
*I haven't used this book before in storytime, but I'm so glad that I did! What I did was make five two-sided sheep, one side awake, the other asleep. As I read, I flipped the sheep over that are awake, to show the sheep asleep. The kids loved seeing the sheep flip over and telling me how many sheep were still awake!
Flannel: Five Cozy Blankets
*The kids went crazy over this fingerplay! The kids loved picking out what blanket each animal got to sleep under. You can find this wonderful idea here!
Book: The Bunnies Are Not In Their Beds
*This was another book I've never read in storytime, but it was so much fun to read! I used my big flannel bed, and placed three bunnies on it. My volunteer would "hop" the bunnies out of bed, and I told the kids to tell me when my bunnies weren't in their bed. The kids went crazy hollering at me and helping me make the noises in this book.
Fingerplay: Six the Bed
*I forgot to use actual puppets for this, we used bears that fit in the flannel bed.
Book: Noisy Night
*This is a new book that came out earlier this year, and it's great! You guess what is making the noise on each page of the book, and the kids really enjoyed making all the noises along with me.
Fingerplay/Flannel: Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed
Fingerplay: Four Little Stars
Four little stars winking at me, one shot off, then there were three.
Three little stars with nothing to do, one shot off, then there were two.
Two little stars afraid of the sun, one shot off, then there was one.
One little star, alone is no fun, it show off, then there was none.
(From Book: Storytime Magic)
*I only used the last two lines of the fingerplay above. What I did was place two stars on my flannelboard and had the kids hold up their hands and have them make them twinkle like stars. After I said the line and took my star off the flannelboard, I then threw out little paper stars onto the kids. This represented the stars taking off! The kids went crazy! Anytime I make things rain down onto the kids they absolutely love it!
For our take-home craft today, the kids got a pug in it's bed! I have to admit, I'm partial since I own a pug named Sassie!
