Preschool Storytime #4 in my fall series. It has two owl stories, but not exactly Owl themed. Napping house is a repeat from last week, except this time I did did it felt-story style. One of the libraries I work at has a felt version of Owl Babies, and I would love to do that next week but I don’t have time to make it for this library, unfortunately.
Opening:
- We clap and sing hello
- Wheels on the bus
- I have ten little fingers
- Franck: Crocodile, Crocodile
Longest story: Owl babies by Martin Waddell
- Stand-up song: Bend and stretch
- Action song/ circle song: Grand old duke of york
- Action poem: Criss, cross applesauce
Felt story/ Puppet story: Napping house felt (pattern here)
- Counting story/song: Five little ducks
- Action song: Zoom Zoom zoom
Action poems/ fingerplays:
- Little bird, little bird
- Once i saw a little bird
- Two little dicky birds
- Here is a beehive
Last short story: Wow said the owl by Tim Hopgood
Felt game/ interactive song: Little Mouse House
Closing Songs:
- Teddy bear, teddy bear
- We wave goodbye like this
How it went:
It all turned out pretty good. No major surprises or disasters. I knew I wouldn’t get to all the fingerplays, which is fine. I have to laugh at the one or two kids who say “No” when I ask if they want to something again, because all the other kids are chorusing “Yes!”
I have to get to work on my Bark! George puppet. I want to make a dog puppet that I can pull the various animals out of. I’m doing the book next week, so I want to use the puppet the week after that. If I get it done, I’ll definitely post photos.
