Preschool
Books: Me and My Dragon by David Biedrzycki and The Pet Dragon by Christoph Niemann (If I had to do this storytime again, I wouldn't pick The Pet Dragon. It didn't have quite the appeal factor my kids needed to pay attention.)

Craft: Crowns. Materials: die cut construction paper crowns, jewel stickers, yarn, crayons, glue, and tape. The preschoolers stuck their jewels to the crowns. Their caregivers used the yarn to fit the crowns to the preschoolers’ heads.
Songs/Rhymes
If You’re a Dragon and You Know It
Sung to: “If You’re Happy and You Know It”
If you’re a dragon and you know it,
Show your claws.
If you’re a dragon and you know it,
Show your claws.
If you’re a dragon and you know it,
And you really want to show it,
If you’re a dragon and you know it,
Show your claws.
--Miss Mollie
Three Knights in Shining Armor
Three knights in shining armor,
Fearless and brave,
Went dragon hunting
Deep in a cave.
The dragon started breathing fire,
The knights’ knees were all aquiver,
And one little knight
Took off running for the river!
...
One little knight in shining armor….
So the last little knight
Took off running for the river!
