TD Summer Reading Club Week 4: Ages 2-6

WEEK 4: YOU’RE A STAR!

For the fourth week it was all about you! We talked about actors, actresses, puppets and of course the theater. At the beginning of the program we discussed the plays or recitals that we had been a part of, and if we ever got nervous while performing!

We started storytime, as always, with our wiggle and jiggle song and we all sat like a quiet audience while we read the first story:

Everyone loved the thought of giants dancing and we all had a good giggle picturing huge fluffy blue giants doing ballet!

The first activity that we did was discovering emotions. Since actors and

actresses rely a lot on their facial expressions, we decided to see how many expressions we could do. So we were all happy, sad, angry, hungry, tired (this one wasn’t too hard to pretend in the morning class :p) cold, hot and excited! 

Our second book was: 

The kids were very happy to be able to shout in the library and they took full advantage of it!

We played a quick game of Simon Says to get everyone moving and grooving! To go along with the theme some of the things Simon said was “Simon says do the chicken dance” and “Simon Says act like a puppet on strings”

The last couple books we read were circus themed! We read:

For our craft we made masks! So we could all pretend to be on the stage. All you need for this craft is:

-a template of a mask
-glue
-cut up pieces of tissue paper
-Popsicle stick
-tape 

-makers for decorating

Here are some other books to check out!
