Before we dive into our lesson about The Three Little Pigs, let’s start with a catchy little song that will get us excited! You can sing it to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star":
Pigs, pigs, in a row,
Building houses, oh so slow.
One made of straw, one made of sticks,
The last one built with solid bricks.
Hear the wolf come blow, blow, blow,
Pigs, pigs, where do you go?
Now, let’s take a look at our characters! We have three little pigs and a big, bad wolf.
Now, let’s warm up our imaginations!
Ask the Kids:
“If you were a pig, what would you make your house out of? Would it be straw, sticks, or bricks? Why?”
After we’ve shared our ideas, we’ll dive into the story together! Let’s open our book and find out what happens to the three little pigs and the big, bad wolf. 😊
This creative introduction will not only engage the children but also set the stage for an interactive and fun retelling of The Three Little Pigs!
