Storytime Theme: Friendship Adventure
With this year’s summer reading theme being “Adventure Beings at Your Library,” I wanted to make sure we have lots of great suggestions early in the year! Check out the rest of the adventure themes – ocean, outdoors, and travel too!
This storytime lesson plan works well for an adventure-theme program but could work just as well for a storytime about friendship and kindness. This storytime is a great conversation starter for discussing what it takes to be a good friend and what it means to get along well with others.
