[An internal blog post]
A great way to have children participate in storytime is to
read a guessing book. If your group is
large you can have children “tell their grown-up” what they think the answer is;
if your groups is small you can have children call out what they think before
turning the page or lifting the flap to reveal the answer.
One of my favorite books to share with children is Laura Hulbert’s
Who Has These Feet?
The children love to
guess what animal has each set of feet…some are easily guessed right away;
other times the feet are a little more tricky, but it makes the kids stop and
think. Sometimes I will give them
additional clues to help them figure out the animal.
