Francis the Frog that Flew


Author visits



Talks to children aged 4+

I read the story from my own illustrated 'big book', and a couple of puppets; and we learn Francis' song.
Then I show the children my shadow screen, and explain a little about it.
They try out some animal characters and make them talk to Francis and persuade him to come out of his Huff Hole.
We sing the song, and move the puppets in time. If time permits, we can also sing other songs using different animal characters (e.g. 'Three Little Ducks', 'Hickory Dickory Dock', 'Run Rabbit Run')

WHAT I NEED:

A room which can be darkened (doesn't have to be pitch dark)
An overhead projector or strong light
