Book Day Activities – Miscellaneous Suggestions for Early Childhood Education

• Promote very stimulating moments of contact with the books. Organize a very welcoming environment, with rugs and pillows, so that children feel comfortable and comfortable.
• Ask students to bring a pillow they like a lot from home on the given day to be used in this activity.
• The teacher could organize a circle, the “Reading Wheel”, in which children comfortably seated will listen to stories. It will be up to the teacher to highlight the fundamental information about the book, such as author, illustrator, title, first exploring the cover. Ask the class what they think about the story from the title, cover illustration, etc.
• A possible variant is to let children who already know how to read, read or tell a story from a book read by the family. It is important that books are always shown to students, even if they have not mastered reading.
• Another possibility is working with books that only feature illustrations and whose stories are created by the children themselves. This can be done in the Reading Wheel, or even in pairs, when a student will tell the story to another colleague and vice versa.
• Take advantage of the daily program “Sítio do Pica-pau Amarelo”, based on the work of Monteiro Lobato, and ask students about the characters, the setting where the stories are developed.
• If it is possible to provide some episodes of the first version of the show, pass them to the class and then show a current episode. Ask them to note the similarities and differences.
• Ask them to check if there is any children's work by Monteiro Lobato in their homes and bring them to school.
• Try to bring as many works as possible to show your students. Don't forget to explain who Monteiro Lobato was and what his importance to literature was.
• Take a poll to see which character the class prefers, or let students ask their classmates from other classes.
• After the final result, determine the day of the character with the most votes. On that day, students should characterize themselves in the most similar way to the character created by Monteiro Lobato.
• Don't forget to photograph and film the children to discuss with them the various forms found for characterization.
• Try to establish contact with other schools, so that your students can get to know other school libraries, and offer the space of your school's library so that it can also be visited.
• This activity may be preceded by the elaboration of invitations describing some activity (reading a story chosen by the class for visitors) that will be held in the library.
• Also, after the visit, students will be able to send their colleagues from other schools thank you cards with suggestions for books they have already read, or heard the reading and found interesting.
• There are characters that are quite striking, as they have characteristics that catch the attention of readers. Writers Mary and Eliardo França produced some works whose cheerful and colorful characters – Os Pingos – are the children's entertainment.
• Take students to the library to look for books with these characters. It is important for the teacher to check the existence of books in advance or provide them in other libraries.
• After reading the stories, propose to the students how to make the Pingos with modeling clay or balloons.
