For virtual storytime, there is nothing better than a good folder story. I’ve been working on creating a few of my own and decided to try a “porthole” story for an upcoming pirate theme storytime.
Here’s what I came up with:
There once was a grumpy pirate, His grumpy name was Fred. He groaned, he moaned, he sighed… He wouldn’t get out of bed. “Up!” tisked his mom, “It’s time to get ye dressed! “Sleepy pirates, never find, “The golden treasure chest.” So up Fred hopped and dressed he got, A hat and eye patch too. A shiny hook. A leg of wood. In search of gold doubloon.
I created four porthole paper plates with scenes behind it, that I will show as I say the rhyme:
These were super easy to make. I just took paper plates, cut out the middle and painted them yellow. My background is just taped to the back of each plate. I decided not to laminate them because I didn’t want it to be too shiny for virtual storytime.
This would work too for an under the sea storytime, because you could pretend you are on a yellow submarine!
That’s all for now!
