Need:
Construction paper, sand, magazines, scissors, glue
Directions:
Read the children the story. When you are finished discuss the story with
them. Discuss that the letters all ran up to the top of the coconut tree
and that they will now make their own coconut tree, and cut out the
letters of their name from the magazines. Use the brown and green paper to
rip strips to make the coconut tree. Glue the tree onto blue paper.
Sprinkle sand on the bottom of the page and have them glue on the letters
of their name climbing up the coconut tree.

Make a green handprint with paint and them paint the underside of the
forearm brown and press down to make the tree trunk. When it dries, glue
colored ABC macaroni on the tree.

The children can trace both their hands
on green paper. Then cut out the hand shapes and glue them on a brown
paper trunk. My students had a blast decorating their own personal Chicka
Chicka Boom Boom tree with alphabet stamps and alphabet stickers!
Chicka Boom Boom Bottle

You use small plastic drink bottles (like what
bottled water comes in) and you let the children put alphabet pasta,
beads, glitter, beans, and whatever else you think they'll enjoy inside
the bottle. They can decorate the outside of the bottle with
alphabet stickers. They could even make a little grass skirt out of
construction paper or art tissue to tape around the bottle. These Chicka
boom boom bottles can them be used when you retell the story. When you
read the words "Chicka Chicka" the children shake their bottles.
When you say "boom boom" they tap the bottles on their hands. My
class had a great time making and playing with these. They couldn't wait
to take them home.

Give the children magazines, and encourage them to cut out
letters. Glue the letters onto individual coconut trees made out of brown
paper (trunk) and green crepe paper (palm leaves).
