Q is for Quack and Count (Preschool and Two's)

Preschool Storytime:

Opening: Big Books

Book: Step by Step

*This is such a fun guessing book to use in storytime. The preschoolers did really good in telling me what animal made the footprints.

Fingerplay/Flannel: Baby Duck, Baby Duck Hiding Game

Book: Seek and Count

*I was so excited to use this book in storytime, but the preschoolers weren't as excited as I was about it. Sometimes it happens and that's okay, but I will definitely give it another try with them.

Fingerplay: Ten Little Froggies (Only do five and use five green and speckled frogs prop)

One little froggie goes hop

Along comes another and they just can't stop so...

Two little froggies go hop, hop

Along comes another and they just can't stop

Three little froggies go hop, hop, hop

Along comes another and they just can't stop. soo

Continue in this manner and end as follows

Ten little froggies go hop, hop, hop, hop hop

Drop! time to stop

Hop each time you count the froggies...and when you get to ten hop ten

times and count on fingers...fall gently down to floor

Dancing: Animal Dancing

*To end storytime I passed out two types of animals that I have cut out and laminated. After we danced around with them, I called out for each animal and we stuck them to my flannelboard.

Our craft is a duck, of course! I wanted to incorporate letters or numbers, so we spelled out quack and the preschoolers did amazing matching up the letters.
