Circle time is one of my favorite parts of the day. Children can gain so much from it. So I adore the book written by Deya Brashears and Sharron Werlin Krull entitled Circle time Activities for Young Children. The book is illustrated by Amy Flynn and is put out by Gryphon House books.
The book retails for about $12.70 and is 139 pages long. In addition it also has an index of titles and subjects as well as another index of 1st lines for chants, fingerplays, songs, and poems.
Monthly themes are featured from September through June. I really like the yoga theme they feature in September. These yoga poses are stretches are the perfect thing to do to get young tired minds moving. Once they are all awake they learn so much better. Other activities included are movement ideas, songs, auditory games, creative dramatics, and finger plays. Holidays are also included in the book such as Halloween, Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Valentine’s Day.
