Creating Incredible Games that Match Story Content

The Little Red Hen Plot: The story of a hardworking hen who
raises her wheat and bakes her bread while
La gallinita roja her neighbors idle by.

Why we like it: This is a nice version of
the story with rhythm that children can
chant to or fill in the blanks. Language
targets include action words, labeling
nouns, intro to planting/harvesting, and
sequencing.

The Runaway Bunny Plot: A bunny tells his mother he is going
to run away and she lovingly describes
El conejito andarín how she will catch him.

Why we like it: From the same author and
illustrator as Goodnight Moon, this story
provides children with opportunities for
labeling nouns (animals and places) and
action words, describing, making
predictions, and retelling a story with a
structure and rhythm.
Seven Blind Mice Plot: A band of blind mice discover
something near their pond and venture
Siete ratones ciegos out to make guesses as to what it could be.

Why we like it: This story is wonderful for
practice description of attributes, size,
color, and shape, and guiding children in
making predictions. They will be excited
to find out what the creature is at the end
of the story and whether their guesses
matched up.

Goodnight Moon Plot: A classic bedtime story with
goodnight wishes from a sleepy rabbit.
Buenas noches luna
Why we like it: A soothing story for

bedtime or a classroom routine (before
naptime story), excellent for labeling,
describing, increasing vocabulary and
targeting 2- and 3-word phrases.
