Who’s ready for a story? Me! Me! Me! Today’s book is Can YOU make a SCARY FACE? By: Jan Thomas This book will get your kids moving as I read, so be sure to h...ave a little empty space around them. And as always, my number one rule: YOU MUST HAVE FUN! Feel free to first share the story time song from yesterday to get kids ready. Extension Ideas: 1) Large Motor: Freeze Dance -Need a large empty space and music -Play music while kids dance around -Each time you stop the music, kids must freeze like a statue with a scary face. 2) Large Motor: Bug In My Shirt (wish I could see them do this as it is sure to be full of giggles) -Need a crafting pompom or a small balled up child’s sock for each participant -Child places pompom under neckline of shirt -Children must wiggle and squirm to get the bug out of their shirt without using their hands. -More than one child, then make it a race! Who can release the bug first ? 3)Large Motor: Feather Races -Need a feather, cotton ball or small balloon for each racer -Make a Starting Line and Finishing Line -Who can blow their feather to the finish first? 4)Sorting: The bug is tiny, the frog is giant! Let’s talk sizing! -Need a Bucket of blocks -Sort your blocks by size -Count each pile -Which pile has the most? Least? 5)Fine Motor: Playdoh Bugs -Need Playdoh -Children create bugs out of Playdoh 6)Art: My Scary Face -Need a pre-cut paper head shape, crayons or markers -Children create a scary face, but be sure to include a bug on the nose Check back in tomorrow for another read a loud!
