X is for X Marks the Spot (Preschool and Two's)

Preschool Storytime



Opening: Big Books


Guessing game


Fingerplay/Flannel: Five Ocean Creatures


Book: Whale In My Swimming Pool (Volunteer Doing ASL)
*I haven’t done a guessing game through an app in a long time, but I really need to start doing this again!  The preschoolers loved telling me what ocean creature they saw and this is a great learning tool to use.


Fingerplay: Five Little Pirates Jumping on the Ship


Book: Pirate Nap
Pirate Nap: A Book of Colors by [Smith, Danna]
*This is such a great book to use for learning your colors! I made pirate hats that corresponded with each color that was introduced. As I got to that color, I would hold up the pirate hat and have the preschoolers tell me what color it was. At the end of this post there is a picture of all my pirate hats up on the flannelboard.


Fingerplay/Flannel: Hiding Game
*For this we hunted for a tiny fish behind different colored seashells.


Fingerplay: Five Little Fishes Swimming in the Sea


The craft for today is an adorable paper bag pirate! The preschoolers loved making it, and I think primarily because it was a paper bag.

Two’s Storytime:



Opening: Big Books


Fingerplay: If You Want to Hear a Story





Book: Pirate Nap
Pirate Nap: A Book of Colors by [Smith, Danna]
*This is such a great book to use for learning your colors! I was a little worried that this would be too long for the two's, so I did skip a few pages. Otherwise, this book was perfect! I made pirate hats that corresponded with each color that was introduced. As I got to that color, I would hold up the pirate hat and have the two's tell me what color it was. At the end of this post there is a picture of all my pirate hats up on the flannelboard.

Book: We’re Going on a Treasure Hunt

*This book is absolutely perfect for storytime! I love how you can make this book as interactive as you please. The two's loved stomping their feet and waving their arms as we went all throughout the book. What did we find at the end? A treasure chest, of course! Naturally I had to throw out gold coins at end. Not real ones, paper coins, I promise.

*The two's did the same craft as the preschoolers, which is pictured above. I've never seen the two's this excited about a craft, they didn't even put up their carpet squares! They just took off and ran straight back to the tables and started making the pirates!
