Could you help me come up with an activity for four year olds that correlate with the book The Hungry Thing?

Question

I'm reading the book The Hungry Thing to a four year old classroom at a local preschool I need to include a game, song, science activity... Does anyone have any ideas? The book is about a monster that comes to a village with a sign that says feed me. He doesn't pronounce words correctly when he asks for food, he rhymes them. For example, when he wants pancakes he asks for shmancakes. The townspeople feed him and at the end he flips the sign over and it reads thank you. I need an activity that correlates with the book. Please help.

As a long way as his character is going - that's elegant at the horse. If you've gotten taken him out a couple of occasions, then you've gotten a well think for the way he's in unusual crisis. What I might be extra concerned approximately is his stamina. Even a few good broke horses can not manage a tenting travel, readily since they experience for an hour an afternoon and a tenting travel ordinarily method 4 or extra hours throughout a lot rougher terrain. This might make him grumpy and far tougher to paintings with on the finish of the day and exceptionally the starting of the following day. It might additionally make him no longer wish to head within the trailer anymore. A lot of that is determined by his character and 3 weeks will without doubt no longer be sufficient to rather construct the stamina for a tenting travel with out making him bitter. I am additionally no longer in contract with the only rein give up - it consistently simply appears like a band help for an untrained horse. When you ask for a slower gait, your horse must comply. If you need to placed his head into his butt to get him to sluggish down - there's a verbal exchange holiday down. It can be detrimental on a path wherein there's a steep incline, river, rocks, roots, branches out. What are you going to do whilst you're at the the facet of a cliff on a slender path and wish your horse to give up? No room for handing over a circle, now's there....

Bring them a snack. Help them write a song with ryming words, like in the book. Make monster puppets with paper food to feed them and have them make signs like the monster had that they can bring home and play with. Even try acting out the book as a play! have fun!

The children could create "monsters" with paper bags as puppets. You could cut out pictures from magazines and have them "feed" the monsters with the pictures and use rhyming words.
Ever hear the song "I like to eat apples and bananas?" Well, if you haven't you say something like "i like to oat oat oat opples and bononos" it's silly and fun. Barney use to sing it on his show. I use to be a preschool teacher.
