THEME: ARE YOU CURIOUS, GEORGE?
Circle Time: Bananas!
Today’s special guest was Bananas, a monkey from the library and Curious George’s friend. Passing Bananas around the circle, each child told him his/her name and if s/he likes to eat bananas. Fifteen children said they do like to eat bananas and eight said they do not like to eat bananas.

The kids were told that there were three toys in the toy chest and they had to guess what the toys were. After being given some hints, the children correctly guessed that there was a train, a tractor and a baby doll!
Activity: Hide and Seek Bananas
Around the room, twenty pictures of bananas were hidden. The children had to try to work together to find all twenty…and they were successful!
