Crafts & Activities

Prop Box Idea for the Letter Jj = Jack and The Beanstalk
Fill the prop box with items that will help the children recreate the story after reading it together. Some suggestions: A copy of the book, a cow mask or horns, a pretend ax, a bag of magic beans (jelly beans or colored uncooked lima beans), a funny hat or oversized clothes for the giant, and a scarf or apron for the mother to wear. Suspend something from your ceiling to represent the beanstalk-green streamers, or a string of green painted paper towel tubes w/ some leaves stuck on - let the children help you brainstorm!

Make a Display Box for "Jj"

Animals, Insects & Birds

Recognizing the Letter "Jj"
Introduce the letter "Jj" to the children by showing them the printed lower and upper case Jj. Have letter Jj’s hidden in the room and let the children find them. Sound out the letter Jj and words that begin with the letter.

Jungle Collage
Give the children jungle die cuts to paint and add to a leafy green background-this could be a mural, or each child could do their own.

Jellybean Estimation
Have children guess how many jelly beans you have put out. You can also use the jellybeans for counting and sorting by color-and you can let them eat some!

LETTER J SONG (tune of John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt)

Do you know the Jelly Man? (Tune of: "The Muffin Man")

Do you know the jelly man,
the jelly man,
the jelly man?
Do you know the jelly man
who likes to sing with me?

Oh, he loves the letter J,
the letter J,
the letter J,
Oh, he loves the letter J
and likes to sing with me. Listen to Jazz music, read Fairy Tales and nursery rhymes with “Jack” in them (Jack Be Nimble, Jack Sprat, Jack and Jill, The House That Jack Built etc.)

Jolly Jelly Faces
