PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY!

Hello Chant: (Slap thighs and clap hands in rhythm.  I usually let the kids choose opposites to do or sometimes we do animal sounds.)
Bread and Butter
Marmalade and Jam
Let's say hello as loud as we can.
Bread and Butter
Marmalade and Jam
Let's say hello as quiet as we can.

Book: The Giant Jam Sandwich by John Vernon Lord


When four million wasps fly into their village, the citizens of Itching Down devise a way of getting rid of them.

Rhyme:
I know a word that rhymes with ham
Blueberry, blackberry, raspberry JAM!
I know a word that rhymes with nut,
Take out your scissors, start to CUT!
I know a word that rhymes with pan,
Not a woman, it's a MAN!
I know a word that rhymes with pig,
You wear it on your head and it's called a WIG!
I know a word that rhymes with six,
Take your spoon and start to MIX!
Does ham rhyme with jam? YES!
Does pen rhyme with pan? NO!
Does pig rhyme with wig? YES!
Let's start all over, now here we GO!
