Preschool Storytime:
Opening: Big Books
Fingerplay/Flannel: Kangaroo Guessing Game
*I have no idea where I found this, so if it's your brilliant idea, please speak up! I have this guessing rhyme I read off, and hide the items inside kangaroo's pouch. I place my big kangaroo onto the flannelboard, and read the rhyme to the kids and see if they can guess the item I'm describing before the item is pulled out of kangaroo's pouch! Normally the kids love guessing games, but for whatever reason this time they didn't enjoy it as much.
Book: Tiny Little Fly (With puppets)
*I have read this book before in storytime, but I've never gotten such a wonderful reaction to it! My volunteer put up a fly that I made and each puppet that appeared during the story. We stomped, rolled and swatted at that tiny little fly!
Fingerplay: Five Ferocious Lions
Deep in the jungle, what did I hear?
Five ferocious lions, roaring loud and clear.
“ROAR” said the lion.
“SCAT” said I.
And one ferocious lion said GOODBYE! (Remove lion and repeat until zero.)
*For this precious flannel, my volunteer made for me five, big lion to place up on my puppet stage. We stood up, roared at the lions, and chased them all away! I would love to give credit for this, but there was no link for it, just a picture uploaded on pinterest.
Book: Do Not Open This Book! (With Puppets)
*This book is so much fun to act out with puppets! Once again, I had my volunteer behind the puppet stage, and we had lots of trying to get all the puppets back inside my book.
Fingerplay/Flannel: Lion Hiding Game
Lion, lion, where can you be?
Shout out a color on the count of three!
*Below is a picture of the flannelboard I made a while back for a jungle theme. I'm always afraid the kids will get tired of looking for things, but thankfully they never do!
Action: Jungle Animal Action Cards
Our craft today was a lion! The most precious thing about the craft was we had two families stay late, making their craft. Two of the boys chased each other around, roaring like lions! That makes me feel extra good when I know they really enjoyed what they made.
Time for Two’s Storytime:
Opening: Big Books
Fingerplay:If You Want to Hear a Story
Book: Tiny Little Fly (With Puppets)
*My volunteer put up a fly that I made and each puppet that appeared during the story. We stomped, rolled and swatted at that tiny little fly! The two's went crazy over everything, which made this a wonderful read-aloud.

Action: We’re Going on a Lion Hunt
*This time we caught my lion puppet, much to the two's delight!
Our craft today was a lion!
