BEFORE YOU PLAY THE GAMES:
Help Children Make Their Own Magic Story Cars

Children will pretend to drive Magic Story Cars (cardboard boxes,
pillows or chairs with their own 'license plates') to play each learning game.

1. Tell Children: "Let's make your own car, a Magic Story Car. You will drive it to play special make-believe stories."

2. Give Each Child a License Plate, and help them write their name or initials on it.

3. Set-up Magic Story Cars: Paste or tape license plates on cardboard boxes. Help children decorate their boxes with headlights, wheels, and alphabet letters or other designs. If you don't have boxes, children can sit on chairs, pillows or cushions with their license plates in front and pretend to drive.
