Skeleton Hiccups
Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 2002
Summary: In this hilarious story, Skeleton tries every known cure for the hiccups.
Lesson: This book was part of my Halloween unit, which also included Where the Wild Things Are and the song, "Monster Mash". First I read Skeleton Hiccups. The children, without much prompting on my part, loved doing the hiccups sound effects for each page. I then read Where the Wild Things Are. During the dancing section of the story, I played "The Monster Mash" and we all danced like monsters and zombies. We returned to end the story. The kids were then given handouts with a skeleton on it for them to color as they wished. (If more time had allowed, I would have allowed glue-ons, like string for hair.)
Level: PreK - 2nd
This sounds like a real fun lesson. Something I can do with special needs students also. Thanks
ReplyDeleteJoanneMaria,
ReplyDeleteI also had the stuffed Wild Things animals. Some of the kids liked dancing with these, too. But I guess any "monster" would do.
