One of the favorite activities is our Word Treasure Hunt.. After
reading a story, we scatter word cards related to the plot around the
room. The kids excitedly search for them, and as they find each card,
they share a sentence using that word.-
Sherrie, Word Treasure Hunt is a great way to engage kids and build vocabulary through play. Well done!

my main way to get kids to talk after story time is to engage and ask questions
-
I mainly focus on asking questions as I am reading the story. I usually try to pick books that have a good moral or a teachable moment in it. I often will pause on every page and ask questions that are engaging. Eg. Why do you think she was afraid? or “What do you think they should do next?. The kiddos love to guess what’s next and it keeps the story going for longer. It also extends and expands their learning as they hear peer answers to my questions and even my own answer.
