Description
A five senses craft that becomes a story retell puppet for circle time, so children see the story and answer with their bodies. The My Five Senses StoryMitt is a printable story glove: the teacher recites the Little Friend rhyme, clips a picture circle for each sense, and then plays Show, Ask, Do with big body part circles.

WHAT MAKES IT WORK
The pictures arrive one at a time on the mitt, so even the youngest listeners follow the rhyme from start to finish.
Every circle carries its whole text on the back, so you never need to memorize a line.
Children move as they answer: they cover their eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, and clap for their hands, which keeps a group engaged and makes the vocabulary stick.
