Vocabulary Words:

Kind

Materials:
Popsicle sticks
Cut-outs of different animal babies
Procedure:
I will give each child the animal of his or her choice to color. We will then tape it to the
popsicle stick and pretend play with the puppet together, talking about our feelings.
Extension Activity:
I will extend this activity by letting the children draw what they heard in the story with
another child.
1.
I will get the children motivated by showing them our stick puppets. I will then ask them
to sit down with me to read the story. After reading the story the children should be eager
to color their puppets.
2.
Nurturing/Teaching Strategies Procedures: What are the steps you will take to
conduct this activity/experience?
I will encourage the children to label how the tiger felt and how they feel when somebody
does something they do not like. I will ask them to pretend play with me, with myself
having a role that they give me.
3.
Closure: How will you know its time to end your activity?
I will end the activity by putting the puppets in the manipulative area so everyone can
play with them.
4.
Transition: How will you prepare the children psychologically or physically for
what will occur next?
I will prepare the children by singing the clean-up song as this is what they respond to the
best.
5.
I will make some of the puppets just have one sticks and for others I will glue a few
sticks together so it will be easier to pick up. I will also make the group size small enough
as to make sure I engage with all the children equally.
6.
Self Evaluation:
Do you feel you were sufficiently prepared for the activity?
I do feel I was prepared for this activity. I made the puppets and was hoping the children
would make their own story line to go along with them.
How did the children engage/respond to the activity?
They responded very well. They all wanted to pretend play with them, but I had to
remind the children to be easy because they are only paper puppets.
Is there anything you might change if you plan this activity again?
I may try to have the children help me act the story out as we are reading it using cloth
puppets.
How might you use other domain areas to expand on this activity and meet additional
goals?
I could expand this activity by including more feeling words and expanding into the
social emotional domain.
