Storytime Theme: Ghosts
As I’ve mentioned over the past few months, I’m trying to create lesson plans early so that they’re actually helpful for this year’s holidays and celebrations. And while I’d prefer to wait to start sharing fall content when it’s not 95+ degrees outside, I’d rather have this information available for you early enough fo you to use it!
Today’s storytime theme is all about ghosts. I loved so many of these titles because they have such a vintage feel to them, but they’ve only recently been published! And while this storytime lesson plan doesn’t include any nonfiction, I think it’s a fun storytime with some really sweet stories, some great rhymes and songs, and really fun activities that allow kids a chance to practice some fine motor control.
