Lesson Introduction: All About Apples 🍏🍎

Objective

Today, we’re going to explore the wonderful world of apples! We will learn about different types of apples, where they come from, and why they are so special.

---

A Fun Apple Storytime 🍏✨

Materials Needed:

• A basket filled with different types of fake apples (red, green, yellow)
• A colorful picture book about apples (e.g., "The Apple Tree" by David McPhail)
• An apple song (audio or lyrics)

---

Opening Activity: "Guess the Apple!"

1. Gather the Students: Invite all the children to sit in a circle on the floor.

2. Show the Basket of Apples: Hold up the basket filled with different types of fake apples and introduce each color and variety. Ask the children if they can name any different apples they know!

3. Story Time: Read the chosen apple-themed picture book aloud while showing illustrations. Encourage the children to engage by asking questions, like:

   • "What color do you think this apple is?"
   • "Have you ever eaten an apple like this?"

4. Sing Along: After the story, play the apple song. Get the kids to stand up and dance while singing along. A fun song could be "Way Up High in the Apple Tree."
