Preschool Storytime:
Opening: Big Books
Book: I Will Not Eat You
*This is such a fun book to read, especially when you use a dragon puppet! That's the fabulous creature hiding inside the cave, a dragon! The preschoolers loved making the animal sounds along with me as we tried to guess the animal hiding inside our cave.
Fingerplay: Dragon, Dragon
Dragon, dragon, turn around
Dragon, dragon, touch the ground
Dragon, dragon, fly up high
Dragon, dragon, touch the sky
Dragon, dragon, swing your tail
Dragon, dragon, shake your scales
Dragon, dragon, give a ROAR
Dragon, dragon, sit on the floor

Book: Huff & Puff
*For this story, I decided I wanted to make some props for my pigs. So, I made a house for each pig, and taped them onto a box. Then I tucked the happy pig into the first house, and as we "blew" down the house, my volunteer literally knocked the house into the floor! Much to the kids delight. Then my volunteer would show the pig to my kids, with the unhappy pig facing out. When we got to the last house, we tried huffing and puffing with all our might, but we couldn't knock down that house! But instead, my volunteer pulled out a yummy chocolate cake for the wolf! Which is what happens at the end of the story. I've included pictures below of the houses I made so that you can see what I did. All the houses folded down, but I cut out the windows so that you can just tuck each pig inside the house.
*This pig is the grumpy pig, can you tell? LOL!
Fingerplay/Flannel: Five Knights
Five little knights, fearless and brave,
Went dragon hunting deep in a cave!
They heard a loud ROAR
Shaking the cave’s floor!
So one little knight ran away!
(Four… Three… Two… One…)
*The kids loved stomping our feet and roaring like dragons. The best part was watching all the knights run away behind me!

Fingerplay/Flannel: Pancakes Hiding Game
*Pancakes, pancakes, not very big...
Are you under the purple pig??

Book: Not Your Typical Dragon
*This book is great to read, but it was the last one I read and it was a little long. The thing that helped the most was that I had the items inside the story cut out of construction paper. So, when Cripsin the dragon breathes out teddy bears instead of fire, I would throw out little paper teddy bears onto the kids. They loved all the items being thrown out onto them!
Our craft today was a castle!

*I made a flannel to go along with this story, but I have to say that the sock is missing from the picture below. But I did find the sock! It has returned to the dragon once again!
