Acting Out the Story
One of our books which Ava and I both particularly like, is My Lucky Day by Keiko Kasza. The other day, Ava wanted to pretend she was the character Mr. Fox from the book, so we began acting out the story together. I was surprised at how well she knew the book and understood the story line. Obviously, some books are easier to act out than others, but it’s an idea you may want to try sometime with your child(ren).
We didn’t use any props and we didn’t follow the book word-for-word. We just had fun and followed the story line. If you haven’t read the book, I’m not sure how much sense our little play will make to you, but none-the-less, here is a video of our rendition of My Lucky Day…
Through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, we receive one free book in the mail each month. It’s a really great program that you can participate in, too. Click here to find out if your location is covered by the program.
Kimberly, that was great! Ava is so cute and funny and SMART! Keep up the great work being a wonderful mommy:)
Thanks for your encouragement, Chelshia! We may act out another play to put on here soon.
Awww!! Kimberly, this was too cute! I watched this with Brady and now he is looking for his book! Such a cute idea! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
