Part of the One World Many Stories Summer Reading program
Opening: Shake My Sillies Out – Raffi
Book: The Frog Bride – Antonia Barber
(Too wordy to read, this is more of a story to tell with the pictures.)
Song: 5 little dolls (see at end)
(I really wanted matryoshka dolls for this program, so when I found them for around $12 on ebay, it was an easy decision …then I just had to think of a rhyme for them!)
Book: When the Snow comes – Jonathan Allen
Shadow Story: Masha and the Bear a traditional folktale
Book: The Gigantic Turnip – Aleksei Tolstoy
Activity: Boot prints (see at end)
(Flannel Board prints that the kids have to try and replicate.)
Book: Snow Bears – Martin Waddell
Activity: Bubbles
The Parts:
5 little dolls
One little doll sat way up high
She fell off and began to cry.
She hit the ground and her side went ‘Crack’
Another doll came to help her back.
Two little dolls sat way up high,
One fell off and began to cry…
(continue)
(last verse)
Five little dolls sat way up high,
Now they never fell off and never did cry
How many dolls were up so high?
One two three, four and five.
Boot Prints
Lay flannel board prints in different patterns, and see if kids can walk the way that would make them.
— _ — _ — _ off set for walking
side by side for ‘bunny hops’
_ _ _ _ in a straight line for ‘tightrope’
overlap side by side for ‘train tracks’
