Hello,
I have tried many things but what works best for me is this:
1) Get students to vote for an animal
2) Draw the animal on the board
3) Ask students: "What is the (Animal) going to do?"
4) Students shout out/ take turns making responses
5) Draw the animal doing that thing
6) Ask "What will the (animal) do next?"
7) Once they get good at this you can shout out things like "Then SUDDENLY......" The students have to continue making the story
My last story (boys class) was "Once upon a time, A rabbit ran up a hill then ate a elephant, zebra and dinosaur. It felt really sick so it went to the hospital. Then suddenly another big diosaur came and ate the rabbit"
This activity is easy to set up and really works well with the students imagination

Dear iviher,
I have read "Tortoise Shell" with my stds. After reading you can provide different materials so they invent different shells for the little tortoise. It is a quite well known book.
You could also use "The blue balloon" or "The very hungry caterpillar" or "The grouchy ladybug"
Thay are all really nice
Good Luck

You can �t go wrong with Robert Munsch. What �s more, if you go on his website, http://www.robertmunsch.com/, in the storytime section, you can download audio versions of his stories read by him.
Stephanie �s Ponytail is funny and I usually use a girl with long hair and we do the different hairdos from the story.
Mortimer is a big hit with the boys because for once they have permission to be noisy.
Show and Tell is a good one if you want your students to do one of their own. |

Try some of the books from Julia Donaldson. I use them all the time with my kids and they are so easy to use. I did �The Snail and the Whale � with a very large group of 9-10 year olds and after reading the story they had to draw a story board to the book and they loved it.
The words usually rhyme so it is easy for the kids to listen to and they soon join in the story if you read it more often. (like the Gruffalo for instance)
Hope you like them. Hugs Yeti xx |

I can �t recommend anything from a teaching perspective, as I only teach adults but as a mum I can highly recommend these two stories:
"Giraffe �s can �t dance" by Giles Andrae and Guy Parker-Rees. Great rhyme, gorgeous illustrations and chockablock with animals!
"Handa �s Surprise" by Eileen Browne. Short, simple story, also set in Africa. Very colourful and sweet. If you want to practise fruit (inc. tropical ones).... Actually, now I think about it there �s another story called Handa �s Hen, which practises numbers and animals (and not just your bog-standard ones!)
HTH
Have a swell weekend!
