Plateful of Peas and Rhyming Dust Bunnies

These two projects were a hit with kids, parents, and staff. These will definitely be staples in my lesson plans for the next few years.

Buzzzz!

Start this rhyme by putting on the glove and hiding your hand behind the beehive.  Then say something like this: Do you know what this is? It’s a beehive!  Do you know what lives in a beehive? Bees!  And what sound do bees make? Buzzzzzzz.  Everybody buzz like a bee!  Keep it going…

Here is a beehive. Where are the bees?
Hidden away where nobody sees.
Soon they come creeping out of the hive (have one bee peek out)
1-2-3-4-5! BUZZ! (bring each finger out as you count)
(make your bees fly all around the hive)

Thanks, Sunflower Storytime for this great idea!
