Begin by singing Raffi’s Shake
My Sillies Out.
Puppet Show: Why? (Cowboys & Aliens Style) by
Lindsay Camp and Tony Ross. We used cowboy and alien puppets as well as a
spaceship prop to perform this story.

| Moondogs |
Poem: The Planet of Mars from the Shel
Silverstein book, Where the Sidewalk Ends.
We made some magnetic cut-outs which can be used along with this poem.
Book: Moondogs by Daniel Kirk.
Song: What Will I Take to the Moon from the
cd, Parachute Express. We made
pictures of each of the items to take to the moon which we hung on the
wall. While we sang the song we pointed
at the particular picture and did the corresponding action.
Book: Astronaut Piggy Wiggy by Christyan and
Diane Fox.
Story: Alien on the Move by Paul and Deanna. We
made up our own shadow puppet show which can be used on an overhead projector.
Song: I Don’t Want to Live on the Moon from
the Sesame Street CD Platinum: All-Time Favorites. We made
some props, which we used along with an Ernie puppet to lip sync to the song
while the cd played.
Activity: Blast Off! by Cynthia Holley.
Jump into
your spacesuit,
Don’t
forget your hat. (Imitate putting on suit
and helmet.)
Climb into
the rocket ship
On the
launching mat. (Climb in, sit down.)
Buckle up
for take off,
Belts from
head to toe. (Buckle up!)
Countdown
from ten and blast off,
Up to the
moon we go!
10, 9, 8,
7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 . . . . Blast off!
We then landed on the moon and did various activities such
as space walking, jumping, and running.
Afterward we decided to return to earth and did the rhyme a second time,
substituting the words “Back to the earth” in place of “Up to the moon.”
by Deanna and Paul
