All About Me theme for 3 and 4 year olds: a week of activities

A all about me theme lesson plan for 3 and 4 year olds: what a day looks like, then the week's circle time (ten to fifteen minutes, with a child holding the book), books, craft, song, snack, letter and outside time, each with what changes at this age.

All About Me song: This Little Piggy

The words

This little piggy went to market, This little piggy stayed home, This little piggy had roast beef, This little piggy had none, And this little piggy cried "Wee, wee, wee!" All the way home.

Traditional; public domain. From Top 52 nursery rhymes with lyrics.

All About Me snack

Banana Sushi from the Peabody Kitchen: picture steps, allergy swaps and safety lines on the recipe.

Swap: Flour tortillas → corn tortillas; Peanut butter → sunflower seed butter.

Letter M activities

MmM is for me. Print the two pages (a trace page and a color page).

Threes and fours: trace M and m once, then find M in the room and in the book.

Outside activity: Can you do this?

Take turns showing a move (hop, spin, touch your toes) and everyone copies.
