Hawaii Storytime Ideas (2004)

dearkatiePreschool Storytime Ideas

Hawaii

For Asian-Pacific Island Month in May, hold a Hawaii-themed storytime, complete with goldfish crackers and pineapple juice! This storytime is good for nearly all ages: preschool, school-age, or family storytimes.

There are lots of craft ideas: shark paperbag puppets, paper flower leis, or paper quilts made to resemble the one in LUKA’S QUILT. The easiest paper lei is made with simple xeroxed flowers strung on a shoelace or piece of yarn, with one-inch pieces of plastic drinking straws used to separate the flowers. Check here for more craft ideas.

Guback, Georgia. LUKA’S QUILT  &nbsp When Tutu (grandmother) makes a Hawaiian-style quilt, Luka wishes for a more colorful one.

Fellows, Rebecca. A LEI FOR TUTU  &nbsp Nahoa looks forward to Lei Day, until Tutu gets sick.

Rattigan, Jama Kim. DUMPLING SOUP  &nbsp A family eats foods reflecting their Hawaiian, Korean, and Japanese cultures.

Samuela, Barbara. ALOHA, DOLORES  &nbsp Dolores and her cat Duncan enter a contest to win a trip to Hawaii.

Williams, Laura. TORCH FISHING WITH THE SUN  &nbsp Makoa worries about his aging grandfather.

Tune, Suelyn C. HOW MAUI SLOWED THE SUN  &nbsp A pourqoui story about the long days in Hawaii.

Mohan, Berverly. PUNIA AND THE KING OF THE SHARKS  &nbsp To get lobsters, Punia must outwit the sharks guarding their cave.

Rumford, James. ISLAND BELOW THE STAR  &nbsp Five brothers, each with a special skill, sail to Hawaii.

Takayama, Sandi. SUMORELLA: A HAWAII CINDERELLA STORY  &nbsp Mango Boy is teased for being skinny, so he dreams of becoming a Sumo wrestler.

Martin, Rafe. SHARK GOD  &nbsp A brother and sister are imprisoned by a king, but because they freed a shark caught in a net, the Shark God comes to their rescue.
