Slow and Steady: Stor e Telling November December 2011

Tortoise and Hare
from
Children's Illustrations, 1880
I have penned the Stor E Telling column since January of 2002 and the articles from 2002-2006 are the publications page of my website found here http://tinyurl.com/llnn47y . I will be adding the columns from 2007 to 2012 to that page as well. However, I am in the process of checking what link URL's have changed or are now defunct. It is a time consuming process so I am taking the “slow and steady” approach via Aesop and will post the individual columns on my blog for now.

I will not be adding current columns until the following year, so if you want immediate access to the newest websites, consider becoming a member of the National Storytelling Network.Please feel free to comment on the blog and let me know if you find this useful.

Celebrate the New Year in Style with the Small Ones

Father Time
by
Edmund Dulac, 1906
Last year I offered a lapsit program to celebrate the New Year. Listed below are the fingerplays, songs and story stretchers I used in the program. These are found all over the Internet without attribution so please to feel free to use them in your work.

I hope you will find something to use with your little ones.  If you do, please let me know how much fun you had!



 FINGERPLAYS/ACTION RHYMES

January

January's a very cold month,
Shiver, shiver, shiver, (Hug yourself and pretend to shiver.)
Button up and cover your ears, (Pretend to button coat: cover ears with your hands.)
Or quiver, quiver, quiver. (Shake all over)

Five Little Snowmen (Tune: Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed)

Five little snowmen riding on a sled,
One fell off and bumped his head,
Frosty called the doctor and the doctor said,
No more snowmen riding on that sled!

Count down from four to one…

No more snowmen riding on the sled
Mother but them all to bed!

SONG

Cheer the Year (Tune: Row, Row, Row Your Boat)

Cheer, cheer, cheer the year,
A new one's just begun.
Celebrate with all your friends,
Let's go have some fun!
Clap, clap, clap your hands,
A brand-new year is here.
Learning, laughing, singing, clapping,
Through another year.

STORY STRETCHERS

The People on the Bus (Tune: The Wheels on the Bus)

Oh, the people on the bus wear party hats,
Party hats, party hats. (Children place hands together in a point over their heads)
Oh, the people on the bus wear party hats,
All through the town.

Oh, the people on the bus are blowing horns,
Blowing horns, blowing horns. (Children place fist over their mouth)
Oh the people on the bus are blowing horns,
All through the town.

Oh, the people on the bus say, “Happy New Year”,
“Happy New Year”, “Happy New Year”.
Oh, the people on the bus say, “Happy New Year”,
All through the town.

A New Year Has Begun (Tune: If You're Happy and You Know It)

A new year has begun -- clap your hands! {clap} {clap}
A new year has begun -- clap your hands! {clap} {clap}
A new year has begun; a new year has begun.
A new year has begun -- clap your hands! {clap} {clap}

A new year has begun -- stomp your feet! {stomp} {stomp}
A new year has begun -- stomp your feet! {stomp} {stomp}
A new year has begun; a new year has begun.
A new year has begun -- stomp your feet! {stomp} {stomp}

A new year has begun -- give a shout! HURRAH!
A new year has begun -- give a shout! HURRAH!
A new year has begun; a new year has begun.
A new year has begun -- give a shout! HURRAH!
A new year has begun -- give a shout!

Elves, Bells, and Reindeer's

Gerda and the Reindeer
by
Edmund Dulac, 1911
Last year I offered a holiday lapsit program for toddlers. The client preferred to keep away from all things Santa and so I designed an Elves, Bells and Reindeers time for the children. I added a special touch by purchasing some small bells and red ribbon from Michael’s craft store and making personal bell necklaces for all the children. It was a huge hit!

Below are the fingerplays, songs and story stretchers I shared. They are found all over the web with no attribution; feel free to use them in your programs. I hope they will add some fun to your holiday programs!


FINGERPLAYS

Five Little Bells

Five little bells hanging in a row. (Hold up five fingers)
The first one said, "Ring me slow." (Move thumb slowly)
The second one said, "Ring me fast." (Wiggle index finger)
The third one said, "Ring me last." (Move middle finger)
The fourth one said, "I'm like a chime." (Move ring finger)
The fifth one said, "Ring us all. It's holiday time!" (Wiggle all five fingers)     

Five Little Reindeer
I used a flannel board and felt reindeer to do the counting rhymes with the children.

Five little reindeer playing in the snow.
The first one said, "Let’s go and go and go!"
The second one said, "I see snowflakes in the air."
The third one said, "The elves won’t care.
The fourth one said, "Aren’t holidays fun!"
The fifth one said, "Let’s run and run and run!"

Five Little Elves

Five little elves jumping on the sleigh, (move hand up and down)
One jumped off and ran away. (move hand over)
Mama called Frosty and Frosty said (hand to ear)
"No more elves jumping on the sleigh." (shake finger)

Continue song with four, three, two and one elf.
No more elves jumping on the sleigh,
They all jumped off and ran away.

STORY STRETCH

Reindeer Pokey (Sung to: "The Hokey Pokey")

You put your antlers in. You put your antlers out.
You put your antlers in, and you shake them all about.
You do the Reindeer Pokey, and you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about!

You put your hooves in....
You put your red nose in....
You put your fluffy tail in...
You put your reindeer body in...

SONGS

There's A Little Elf (Sung to: "If You're Happy & You Know It")

There's a little elf sitting on my nose,
There's a little elf sitting on my nose.
He is sitting on my nose,
Then off away he goes.
Now there's no little elf on my nose.

There's a little elf sitting on my knee,
There's a little elf sitting on my knee.
He is sitting on my knee,
Just watch and he will flee.
Now there's no little elf on my knee.

There's a little elf sitting on my head,
There's a little elf  sitting on my head.
He is sitting on my head,
Then away he goes to bed.
Now there's no little elf on my head.

Jingle Bells

We marched around while singing this song and jingling our new bell necklaces.

Dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go, laughing all the way
Bells on bobtail ring, making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight!

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
Oh! what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way;
Oh! what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.

Chinese New Year: The Year of the Horse


Ivan and the Chestnut Horse
by
Edmund Dulac, 1919
The Chinese New Year is celebrated on January 31, 2014. This year they honor the Year of the Horse.
 “The spirit of the horse is recognized to be the Chinese people's ethos – making unremitting efforts to improve themselves. It is energetic, bright, warm-hearted, intelligent and able. Ancient people liked to designate an able person as 'Qianli Ma', a horse that covers a thousand li a day (one li equals 500 meters).”

~ Each day of the fifteen-day celebration has its own traditions, such as visiting in-laws or staying home to welcome good fortune.
~ Fireworks displays during Chinese New Year stem from a custom of lighting bamboo stalks on fire to ward off evil spirits.
~ In China, families gather together for meals, especially for a feast on New Year's Eve.
~ The Chinese New Year ends with the Lantern Festival, celebrated at night with displays and parades of painted lanterns.
~ The highlight of the Lantern Festival is the Dragon Dance. Beautiful dragons made of paper, silk and bamboo are held overhead and appear to dance as they make their way along the parade routes.
~ In China, the public holiday lasts three days, but celebrations take place over the entire 15-day period.

FACTS ABOUT HORSES
  • Horses were domesticated by humans about 3500 B.C.
  • Horses can sleep standing up.
  • Horses can’t burp.
  • Horses can live to over 30 years old.
  • A horse’s age can be determined by his teeth.
  • Horses are herbivores.
  • Arabian horses have one less vertebra than other horses.

  • Species-wise, the closest relatives to a horse are the donkey, zebra, Brazilian tapir and rhino.

  • Horses can understand and even interpret human emotions.\Horses are great communicators when you know what to look for. They use their ears to say whether they’re relaxed, trying to figure out what’s behind them or anxious and alert.
