Monday will be the first day of story times at the library. Once the Busy Bees and the After-School program are in place, I will be conducting 17 story times per week. It is a wonderfully hectic schedule and I am enjoying every minute of it!
I recently did several programs with stories about colors. After we read, the children really enjoyed playing the color game:
If you can see some red, shake your head.
If you can see some red, shake your head.
If you can see some red and you know what I said,
If you can see some red, shake your head!
I then added: blue/touch your shoe (you know what to do); pink/give me a wink (you know what I think); green/look real mean (the favorite) (like a lima bean); white/dance all night (it will be all right); any color/ shout hurray (then you know what to say)
You can make up your own verses. Don’t mind if they seem silly or don’t rhyme exactly. The children love it!
