Great Activities for Mr. Popper’s Penguins

ShareTweetPinterestMail

Hi there!

This Mr. Popper’s Penguins Let’s celebrate pack is the cherry on top after finishing a class read aloud. Normally, I would read this classic during the winter months to go along with my arctic animals unit, but it really is a perfect book to read at any point time during the school year.

The winter months are usually loooong and cooold, and Mr. Popper’s Penguins is the perfect book to cozy up and celebrate. These activities will definitely, increase your students reading motivation!

What is included in Mr. Popper’s Penguins Let’s Celebrate pack?

Inside this resource you will find an assortment of activities that go beyond boring response sheet. I truly aim to “experience” the book with my “Let’s Celebrate Units.”

Like with my other Let’s Celebrate units, I aim to decorate the classroom with props from the book. This resource contains a bunting banner with the words “Popper’s Performing Penguins“, posters with each of the penguins and their names, as well as quote posters from the book.

Usually, I set them up  and decorate the classroom the night before our reading celebration. I have wonderful parent volunteers!

Included, you will also find this penguin writing craftivity about  dreams becoming true.
