What Can You do with a Shoe?
除了"What can you do with a shoe?"之外,故事裡這兩個孩子還追問了其他的問題:"What can you do with a cup?" " What can you do with a chair?" "Bed?"......他們透過實驗和思考,認識物品功能。
說故事技巧:
書中每頁包含一連串的圖畫,但只要偶而根據內文指著個別的圖畫,孩子還是會懂得"What can you do with a bed?" 「用來睡覺的!」
討論建議:
這故事雖然可以引起思考與想像,但是作者最後仍賦予物件特定的功能。不過,椅子真的只能坐嗎?杯子真的只能用來喝東西嗎?這或許是不一定的。當孩子仍在充滿想像的年紀裡時,不妨讓他們盡情地天馬行空,無限的想像或許就是孩子解決問題的能力的啟發。
延伸活動:
1. 利用鞋子、杯子、帽子、椅子(或小模型),依照書上的句型和孩子玩聽指令做動作。
2. 如果人數夠多,那就可以和孩子一起做鞋子的分類,可以按顏色、大小、樣式、男女鞋...等等來分。
3. 這首數數兒歌包含鞋子:
One, Two, Buckle My Shoe
One, two, buckle my shoe.(兩手做綁鞋帶狀。)
Three, four, open the door.(兩手做開門狀。)
Five, six, pick up sticks.(兩手做撿樹枝狀。)
Seven, eight, lay them straight.(兩手做把樹枝擺直狀。)
Nine, ten, a big fat hen.(兩手插腰做胖母雞狀。)
(或也可以玩成傳球遊戲。大家圍坐或站著,由一人開始按著節拍拍球,說到"shoe"時,把球傳給另一人,遊戲繼續到唱完兒歌為止。)
Let's be Enemies
How Little Lori visited Times Square
小Lori心血來潮,他想要去Times Square,於是他就走路到第八街,然後打算搭地鐵去,可是他做錯線了,出了站,竟然是南邊搭渡輪的地方,於是他只好坐上巴士,可是下了巴士,他竟然到了......可憐的小Lori一路顛頗,也都到不了Times Square,最後他遇上一隻好心的烏龜,烏龜說:"...............hop ...............on ...............and I ...............will ...............take ...............you .............. to ......."
他們倒底到了沒?
說故事技巧:
Times Square,美國紐約的時代廣場,對我們的孩子來說,意義不大,但只要不多加解釋何謂Times Square,孩子不會介意,因為不論把Times Square改成任何地方,這個故事都十分有趣!
延伸活動:可參考Coco Can't Wait的延伸活動
Where the Wild Things Are
搗蛋的小男孩,一下子把釘子釘入牆裡,一下子又拿著叉子追趕小狗,氣得媽媽罵他是wild thing,還罰他回房間,小男孩氣嘟嘟地進了房間,只是進了房間會反省嗎?還是乾脆就去wild world找更多的wild thing玩?
討論建議:
1. 子為什麼小男孩的房間會變成森林?為什麼這些野獸不會吃了他?還有,為什麼離家一年了,媽媽放在他房裡的晚餐卻還是熱騰騰的?
2. 對媽媽來說,這個故事可以引發一個思考──處罰這件事對幼兒到底有沒有必要?要讓孩子理解自己被處罰的理由恐怕是很難的,我們都以為他們應該會從處罰裡學到教訓,但實際上呢?他們可能就像這本書的小男孩一樣,在被罰回房間後,他便去了一趟野獸國,他有在反省該不該調皮嗎?
Open House for Butterflies
Open House for Butterlies, by Ruth Krauss & Maurice Sendak, Harper Collins, 1960
每一頁幾句值得好好思考的話,真的也是值得說給任何年紀的孩子聽。
Suppose old people grew down as young people grew up
Everybody should be quiet near a little stream and listen
A baby makes the mother and father - otherwise they're just plain people
只是這開頭第一句話,大概都會令唸給孩子們聽的大人們畏懼,因為它力道十足!~
A screaming song is good to know in case you need to scream.
不過這一首書本外的童詩,可以解決尖聲不斷的困境:
I scream,
Ah~ (尖叫)
You scream,
Ah~ (尖叫)
We all scream,
Ah~ (尖叫)
For ice-cream.
(安靜吃冰淇淋吧!)
