Begin by singing Raffi’s “Shake My Sillies Out.”
Book: Sakes Alive! A Cattle Drive by Karma Wilson
Song: The Fast Cars Drove All Around (we used pictures on a magnetic chalkboard)
Poem: Signals, from the Shel Silverstein book, A Light in the Attic. We made a traffic light which can be used on a flannel board. We had the children do actions corresponding with each color of the traffic light. It was a short but nice break between the first and second book.
Book: Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus by Mo Willems
Book/Song: The Wheels on the Bus by Maryann Kovalski.
Poem: Car Sounds. We have several different kinds of cars, which we used on a magnetic chalkboard to help tell this rhyme.
Book/Activity: In the Driver’s Seat by Max Haynes. This is a story that we have converted so that we can use it on a overhead projector. Think of an old-fashioned video game with really slow-moving graphics. Anyway, we had the children all pretend they were getting into their own cars. One librarian sat on the ground and faced the front of the room while reading the story while the other changed the pictures on the overhead projector. It was a hoot! The kids and their mom's had a great time.
Activity: We passed out paper plate steering wheels and had the kids pretend to drive to the music of Drivin’ in My Car, from the CD, Ralph’s World.
