Books in Motion: Connecting Preschoolers with Books through Art, Games, Movement, Music, Playacting, and Props

by Julie Dietzel-Glair

https://www.alastore.ala.org/content/books-motion-connecting-preschoolers-books-through-art-games-movement-music-playacting-and
Librarians and educators can shake up storytimes, help children stay healthy, and encourage a lifelong love of reading with Dietzel-Glair's easy-to-use resource. Demonstrating exactly how to use children's books to engage preschool-age children through movement, it's loaded with storytimes that will have children standing up tall, balancing as they pretend to walk across a bridge, or even flying around the room like an airplane. Presenting hundreds of ideas, this all-in-one book is divided into six sections:

  • "Art" spotlights titles that are natural hooks for art or craft activities alongside ideas on how to create art just like the character in the story, while an appendix includes art patterns that can be used as coloring sheets;

  • "Games" includes searching games, follow-the-leader games, and guessing games to enhance the books in this section;

  • "Movement" features books that kids can jump, stomp, clap, chomp, waddle, parade, wiggle, and stretch with;

  • "Music" chooses books perfect for activities like shaking a maraca, singing, dancing between the pages, and creating new sound effects;

  • "Playacting" lets kids pretend along with the characters in these books, whether it's washing their face, swimming with fish, or hunting a lion;

  • "Props" encourages storytime leaders to bring out their puppets, flannelboard pieces, and scarves—these books have enough props for everyone in the program to have a part.

Each chapter includes as much instruction as possible for a wide range of motions. Pick and choose the amount of movement that is right for your storytime crowd, or do it all!
*Creative Investigations in Early Math by Angela Eckhoff

by Angela Eckhoff, PhD

Math crops up in everyday activities in so many ways. You can help preschoolers see math in the petals of a flower, the shape of a window, the bounce of a ball, the growth of a plant, and the repetition of a song. Instead of teaching math to preschoolers, you can be their guide as they experiment, think about problems, try solutions, gain understanding, and discuss their findings. Creative Investigations in Early Math gives teachers practical ideas for intentionally fostering young children's hands-on explorations in the following areas:


  • Number and number sense

  • Computation

  • Geometry and spatial sense

  • Measurement

  • Data collection and statistics

  • Patterns and relationships


*The Giant Encyclopedia of Math Activities for Children 3 to 6

by Kathy Charner, Charlie Clark, & Maureen Murphy

Organized by curriculum area or time of day, each activity is complete with math concepts, materials needed, and step-by-step instructions. Math is the new focus in early childhood education, and the easy-to-use math concept index is a fabulous feature for teachers so they can easily find appropriate activities for the children they teach. Loved by children because they're fun, and teachers because they are developmentally appropriate, the activities in The GIANT Encyclopedia of Math Activities will captivate children's imaginations and create wonderful opportunities for learning and fun.

Flannel Boards and Props
Counting Mats: Make counting mats. Print the number three in the center of the page on three or four sheets of construction paper. Use a margarine tub lid as a template and make five or six circles on the mat. Provide a bowl of small counters, blocks, cars, rattles, and so on. Give each child a counting mat. Invite them to count three items and put them into each circle on their mat. Younger children can just put items inside the circle. Talk with them as they work.
Five Balloons

by Heidi Anne Heiner

Five bright balloons went out to play,

Over the hill and far away.

The little child called "Come back, back, back!"

Four bright balloons came floating back.
