STORY TIME AND MATERIAL: THE CROCODILE WHO DIDN’T LIKE WATER

I want to share with you an idea to explain the story of Gemma Merino: The crocodile who didn’t like water. This story and I spoke a while ago.

http://thebigbagteacher.com/2015/08/22/683/

In the nursery they showed the kids how the shell of an egg is broken and an animal born. It was very interesting for them, they usually see eggs as a food in which the food is made.

The protagonists of this story are oviparous reptiles: crocodiles and a dragon. So these eggs are ideal.

We could distribute the session as follows:

1. PRESENTATION

We can make a little puppet with cardboard and a stick, simple but striking.

2. STORY TIME

Explanation of the story. The dimensions of the book are 27.5 x 22 cm, children can see no problem if they are placed in a semicircle.

3. Explanation of reptiles

We can explain a lot about reptiles, specifically the crocodile that appears in the story and origin: egg, so they are oviparous.

A curiosity!

Some reptiles females protect the eggs inside them and give birth to their young. They are a mixture of oviparous and viviparous, are ovoviviparous.

But we are interested crocodiles and dragons. We could make a presentation to project them or a cardboard with information and photographs. Both are oviparous.

It would be nice to explain that there is a race of dragons, the Komodo dragon, which is not only a mythological creature. Kids will love it!

4. Put the egg in the water and closing.

The most fun! Place among all the egg in water, in a transparent container.

And you can see how the shell, days after breaks.

THE MOST IMPORTANT

I think it’s a book that has many things to work , do not want to reveal the magic of history but:

– Overcoming fears

– Know yourself

– Self-confidence

– Acceptance of the characteristics and other

It is great! I hope you liked it!

Happy Sunday! ANA 🙂
