Bulletin Board
Eat Like a Champion!
Make a large food pyramid to fit your bulletin board. Add pictures of children in various athletic
poses around the pyramid. Information about the new food pyramid is on-line at the U.S.
Department of Agriculture web site, www.mypyramid.gov. The site also offers a mini-poster
that can be printed out for display.
Nametag
An Apple a Day
Make nametags using the apple pattern provided at the end of this chapter. As the children enter
the storytime program, write each child’s name on an apple and add a piece of scotch tape so
they may wear it during the program.
Refreshments
Serve fruit salad. Place a large mixing bowl on the table. Place cut up fruit, such as apples,
oranges, bananas, and strawberries, separately in smaller bowls. Invite each child to pick a bowl
and scoop a spoonful of the fruit to add to the mixing bowl. After each child takes a turn, mix
the contents well and serve in small cups.
