- Read "I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie" by Alison Jackson
- Before you read…
- Have the kids name foods they eat during Thanksgiving.
- Let them draw their favorite Thanksgiving food on a paper plate.
- Label the plate with the food's name.
- Arrange these on the table to resemble a feast.
- Tell the kids to see if the old lady in the book eats any of their foods.
- After you read…
- Decorate a small box to resemble the old lady (green hat, grey hair, big nose).
- Color & cut out clipart of the foods that she eats (see below).
- NOTE: (The Mailbox, 2006-2007 Yearbook, Preschool, pg. 125 has great clipart ready to copy & color).
- Help the kids use the cards & illustrations from the book to retell the story in the right sequence.
- Ask the kids to "feed" your old lady the food cards as they are retold.
- End the story by holding the lady up in the air and parading around the room.
