Storytime Piggies

PIGS

Opening Song:

“Who wore their Hair [and other body parts] today?”

Baby Bear makes an appearance. Children call softy: “Wake up, Baby Bear!” but he snores on

Children call- in a slightly louder voice: “Wake up, Baby Bear!” and he comes out of his sleeping bag. He has a small pig [that has a small teddy bear] this is the clue for this week’s theme.

Baby Bear also has a letter of the day…guess what…it’s “P”

Georgia & I do a puppet story of The Three Little Pigs. There are two fellows that sell the straw, sticks & bricks. The house of straw and the house of sticks are made with cardboard and brass fasteners so that when the wolf Huffs & Puffs…the walls shake until the house collapses. The brick house is made to stand on its own and NOT shake [of course].      

Tune: Wheels on the Bus [we do this standing up to give the kids a chance to move]

The tail on the Pig goes round & round, etc… all thru the mud

The mouth on the Pig goes Oink, Oink, Oink…etc

The feet of the Pig go run, run, run …etc

The ears on the Pig go twitch, twitch, twitch

BOOK: I Went Walking by Sue Williams

 

Tune: Three Green Speckled Frogs

Three Pigs so squeaky clean…see images for full wordage

Cut & Tell Story:

My friend was looking for something

She looked between two pine trees

But it wasn’t there

She walked over a round hill

But it wasn’t there

She balanced carefully as she walked on a long log

But it wasn’t there

She walked around a lake

But it wasn’t there

She walked up a hill and down a hill

And up a hill and down a hill

But it wasn’t there

She walked across a field

But it wasn’t there

She walked up a hill and down a hill

And up a hill and down a hill

But it wasn’t there

She walked to my door and asked if I could help

We looked in a hole [use paper punch to place the eye]

Audience will be able to see that it is a pig at this point]

I see just what you are looking for!

You are looking for your curly tail!!! [use the scissor to curl the “long log” like you would to curl ribbon – it works the same way with paper]

Flannel Board Poem: This little Piggie

Poem: Three Little Pigs Rolled in the Mud…see images for poem

CRAFT PROJECT:

Pig on a stick with the above poem

Children made one side muddy with brown paint [could use chocolate syrup or pudding]

EVALUATION:

Would do this again in two shakes of a pig’s tail…but the enthusiasm of the audience inspired us to create a “Behavior” song to help parents & participants.

Will add later
