This was another fun storytime theme. There are a lot of
superhero books to choose from, but more importantly for storytime, there's
enough short superhero books to choose from. The group seemed to enjoy John
Rocco's book, Super Hair-O and the Barber of Doom and it's pictures, liked the Batman book Bedtime for Batman by Michael Dahl, and were still engaged
for Super Jumbo by Fred Koehler, which I think was my favorite.
We started off storytime with a bean bag song, jumped into
our first story, and then did our So Many Colored Capes color flannel. I handed
out stars so each child could add a star onto the flannel board since they love
putting anything up on the board.
After reading Bedtime for Batman, I played the Batman theme
song and we danced along to it with our scarves. This was a short enough song (less
than one minute) and thankfully it started to play after giving it a few tries.
It played on the computer, but didn't want to play at first on the boombox.
After this, we did a movement activity, "Super hero, super hero, turnaround." They did wonderful with following along to this and I was glad to
see every child participate.
Once we read our last story, we made our capes and masks for
a craft. I handed out letters for their first names during their craft time and
the kids all enjoyed showing me their costumes.
