Storytime Theme: Loud

I’ll be the first to admit that this storytime theme isn’t for everyone. But, I’ll argue that giving the kids a chance to be loud is also a great opportunity for them. If you have the space to do this program outside, that would work really well, so as to let the kids be loud without interfering with anything else going on in the library or school.

And yes, this may be a storytime that is overwhelming to some kids who shy away from loud noises, it’s also an opportunity for kids who are a little more rambunctious and need a space to get rid of that extra energy. And don’t worry, next week, I’ve got a quiet storytime theme coming your way!
