Children might know a puppet isn’t real when you put it on your hand, but they’ll want to pretend and play along.
Puppet
Cut the top and bottom off a food box, insert the puppet on your hand, and then let the puppet pop out the box and sing a song, talk about an event, or say a rhyme.
Ralph the Rag
Knot the top of a dishtowel to look like ears. Introduce it to the class as “Ralph the Rag.” Challenge them to do what Ralph does. Bend the towel and wait for the children to do it. Wiggle the head…shake all over…stand up…turn around…Everyone will want to do what Ralph does!
Henry Hush
Use a finger puppet or draw a little face with a Sharpie on your index finger. Hold it up as you sing this song to the tune of “London Bridge.”
Henry Hush says please be quiet,
Please be quiet, please be quiet.
Henry Hush says please be quiet.
Shh! Shh! Shh! (Place index finger on lips and lower your voice.)
Juke Box
There will be transition times in every school day, and if you don’t direct children’s attention in a positive way they will become restless and troublesome. With this juke box you will always have a song or rhyme handy to entertain them. Decorate a gift bag or small box with the words “Juke Box.” To make CDs cut 4” circles out of fun foam or heavy cardboard. Write words to songs, finger plays, rhymes, and chants on the CDs and place them in the “juke box.” Give a child a pretend quarter and tell them to put it in the juke box and pull out a song or rhyme.
Hint! Invite that child to lead the class in the song or poem.
