Jack and the Beanstalk Preschool Storytime






We read Jack and the Beanstalk. I had several different versions and we looked at the pictures for each and talked about how some the giant looked more scary than others. We read one short version and one longer version. The kids helped say the Fee Fi Fo Fums

We talked about vocab words "giant, large, huge, enormous, big"

We sang "Once there was a beanstalk" (to the tune of Once there was a Snowman- if you don't know it ask any Mormon kid under the age of ten, lol)
Once there was a beanstalk, beanstalk, beanstalk
Once there was a beanstalk, tall tall tall
Jack cut it down, down down
Jack cut it down, small small small

We colored pictures of Jack and cut him out and put him on a little stick. We planted beans and put our Jack in the cup to await the beanstalk growing.

We did a color sorting graph with jelly beans- the kids really liked this activity
