It's a Flannel Friday of Love!
This week's post was inspired by Kay Leigh at Storytime ABC’s.
I made eight hearts total: white, pink, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.
Little Red Valentine Game
Little Red Valentine, I love you.
Little Red Valentine, I love you.
Little Red Valentine, I love you.
Orange one says, "I do, too!"
Use different color hearts.
In Wee Read class, we said this rhyme using the ASL signs for each color (we did red, orange, yellow, green, and blue) and Valentine (drawing a heart over your chest) to go with it.
For Toddler and Preschool storytimes, I printed out six smaller hearts per color, then laminated each sheet. After cutting out each heart, I taped a popsicle stick to the back and wrote the color name on the heart.
I passed out a heart to each child, then placed a big heart on the flannel board to show which color we were using while singing this song I came up with:
Who Has a Red Heart?
Sung to: Mary Wore a Red Dress
Who has a red heart, red heart, red heart?
Who has a red heart?
Bring it to me now.
Use different color hearts.
Sung to: Mary Wore a Red Dress
Who has a red heart, red heart, red heart?
Who has a red heart?
Bring it to me now.
Use different color hearts.
As I called each color's name, the children with that heart brought it to the front and placed it into my basket.
