I made this in about 15 minutes before story time on Thursday, I've had a bad procrastinating streak lately. When I get a chance I'll go back and make both a boy and a girl face so that there's a little more diversity in the dressing up- I realized after I had made it that there were 4 pretty stereotypical boy professions and 1 stereotypical girl profession (if you consider a witch a profession) and I'd like to switch it up a bit in the presentation.
Anyway we start with my friend Pete (aka Pete the Pirate from This Little Pirate) and I told the kids that Pete likes to dress up and pretend to be different people. He uses hats in his dress-up and we have to guess what Pete is going to be...
I run into fires to save the day, my bright red hat keeps me safe all the way!
Pete's a firefighter!
I ride a broom with a cat on the back, my hat is a triangle, pointy and black.
Pete's a witch!
I cook all day, I cook all night, my hat is big, puffy and white.
Pete's a chef!
And sometimes we know what Pete wants to dress up as, but we have to help him find the right hat.
I'm a king, I rule this town. I wear a special hat, it's called a....
CROWN!
Whether I'm catching a ball, or swinging a bat, on my head I've got a....
BASEBALL CAP!
And that's our hat game.
That is a lot of fun. It could also be a good intro to a story time theme on firefighters, baseball, etc.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking this could also go along with Martin's Hats!? Anyway, it's an abundance of cuteness plus a game which always equals a lot of fun! Thanks for sharing
