The Very Hungry Caterpillar, by Eric Carle.
To tell a story to more than 5 children, It is a challenge for me, really! Well, I am not worried about the numbers of children, I am worried how can I make the story lively and interesting. Anyway, this is my first try at it, and it proved that I need more practice!
The audiences are my 2 kids and 4 nephews. They aged from 3-10. Their English is not good. My nephews said they never heard any English stories before. So I was so proud to tell them, I would tell them English stories regularly!
Step 1. Warm up. We sang a song of <days of a week >together. For sure they would understand when the caterpillar ate food. Then I introduced them the magic hungry caterpillar. According to the front cover, I mentioned the colors in passing. Thank goodness, They liked interacting with me!
Step 2. Enjoying the story
In the light of the moon, a little egg lay on a leaf.
One Sunday morning, the warm sun came up and-pop!out of the egg came a tiny and very hungry caterpillar.He started to look for some food.
On Monday, he ate through one apple. But he was still hungry.
On Tuesday, he ate through two pears, but he was still hungry.
On Wednesday, he ate through three plums, but he was still hungry.
On Thursday, he ate through four strawberries, but he was still hungry.
On Friday, he ate through five oranges, but he was still hungry.
(During reading the story, They counted the numbers loundly.)
On Saturday, he ate through one piece of chocolate cake, one ice-cream cone, one pickle, one slice of Swiss cheese, one slice of salami, one lollipop, one piece of cherry pie, one sausage, one cupcake, and one slice of watermelon.
( we learned the words of food which we didn’t know before.)
That night, he had a stomachache. Hi The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
The next day was Sunday again.
The caterpillar ate through one nice green leaf,
and after that he felt much better.
Now he wasn't hungry any more, and he wasn't a little caterpillar any more. He was a big, fat caterpillar.
He built a small house, called a cocoon, around himself. He stayed inside for more than two weeks. Then he nobbled a hole in the cocoon, pushed his way out and...
he was a beautiful butterfly!
Step 3. Do some drawing and retell the story.
