Materials: - Book: Benny's Pennies
- Flannel board
- Flannel board pieces
- Posterboard
- Pennies (real or cutouts)
Plan: - During large group, read the story, Benny's Pennies.
- Have the children predict what Bennie will buy with each penny based on the illustrations.
- Emphasize the rhyming words as you read the story.
- After the story, help children recall what Benny bought first, second, and third by giving clues about each item.
- As children recall each item (a rose, cookie, paper hat, fish, and a bone), place a flannel board piece of that item on the flannel board.
- Next, introduce a chart with pictures of each item Benny bought.
- Give each child a penny and have them come up and paste their penny on one item they would buy.
- Later, share the results of the chart with the children.
Comments:
You could extend the activity with rhymes by finding words that rhyme with children's names (like the characters in the book).
