Storytime Stretchers: Tongue Twisters, Choruses, Games, and Charades

Storytime Stretchers: Tongue Twisters, Choruses, Games, and Charades is a resource packed cover to cover with "two-minute miracles" ideal for working with children from preschool to high school age. Collected from author Naomi Baltuck's own childhood, as well as from other storytellers, and children themselves, these delightful rhymes, tunes, call-and-response chants, and simple games are highly recommended for use anywhere children gather, from family occasions to Scout meetings to keeping young minds awake and alert at school. "Tree Toad Trials": A tree toad loved a she-toad / that lived up in a tree. / She was a three-toed tree toad, / but a two-toed toad was he. / The two-toed toad tried to win / the she-toad's friendly nod, / for the two-toed toad loved the ground / on which the three-toed toad trod. / But no matter how the two-toed toad tried, / he could not please her whim. / In her tree-toad bower, / with her three-toed power, / the she-toad vetoed him.
