Piggies! Themed Storytime

Opening song: Good Morning/ Buenos Días (See My Storytime Set for song lyrics)   
Opening fingerplay: One Little Finger 
Literacy: Wolf Won't Bite by Emily Gravett 
Song/movement break: Open Shut Them
Literacy: Piggies by Audrey Wood (also available in bilingual version) 
Literacy: Huff and Puff by Claudia Rueda (This link is to cutest author reading ever!) 
New song/movement break: Five Little Piggies Rolled In the Mud (You can just chant or sing this to the tune of Six Little Ducks.
I did this as a felt board, but you can make it an action rhyme like in the video.

I used ArtFelt Pigs and farmer, 
and made my own mud and hay.


Five little pigs rolled in the mud.
Squishy, squashy, felt so good!
The farmer took one piggy out
“Oink! Oink! Oink!” that pig did shout!

Four little pigs rolled in the mud…

Three little pigs rolled in the mud…

Two little pigs rolled in the mud…

One little pig rolled in the mud…

No little pigs rolled in the mud.
They all looked so clean and good.
The farmer let those piggies play
But this time they played in the hay!

Closing Fingerplay: Two Little Blackbirds  
Closing Movement: Hokey Pokey
Post storytime activity:Pink Piggy Plates
I had the kids and their parents decorate paper plates to look like pigs. Supplies I used:
  • Different shades of pink tissue paper squares
  • glue sticks
  • Pink dot painters
  • Pink foam shapes, especially circles and triangles
  • Googly and sticker eyes
  • Pink ribbon/lanyard string tails
  • Black markers
