Ice Cream, June 24th and 25th, 2009


Begin by singing Raffi’s Shake My Sillies Out

Book: Isaac the Ice Cream Truck by Scott Santoro

Poem: Eighteen Flavors by Shel Silverstein. Presented with puppet and props.

Book: Max Cleans Up by Rosemary Wells.

Song: Once I Was An Ice Cream (to the tune of Once There Was a Snowman) we had the kids act out the lyrics.

Once I was an ice cream, ice cream, ice cream
Once I was an ice cream, tall, tall, tall!
(Stand tall with arms over head)
In the sun I melted, melted, melted,
In the sun I melted, small, small, small!
(Slowly “melt” to the ground)

Magnet Board Story: Wemberly’s Ice Cream Star by Kevin Henkes

Puppet Show: Dog and Bear: Two’s Company – ICE CREAM by Laura Vaccaro Seeger.

Activity/ Song: We passed out instruments to the kids. We played the song I Dream of Ice Cream by Bananas in Pajamas. We paused the music and had the kids “freeze.” When they were frozen we instructed them to “melt.” We froze and melted over and over.

Treat: We passed out popsicles. Yum!
