Santa’s Stuck Interactive Storytelling Props | Sequencing, Retelling Activities
Product Description
Bring the Christmas magic of Santa’s Stuck! by Rhonda Gowler Greene to life with this engaging collection of visuals, storytelling props, and interactive retelling tools—perfect for Pre-K, ECSE, SPED, Autism, and early childhood classrooms!
The silly scenes, predictable patterns, and hilarious problem-solving moments make Santa’s Stuck! an instant student favorite during the holiday season.
This set does not include the book. (You must purchase your own copy.)
🎅 What’s Included
- Small page-by-page visuals to support comprehension and cue students during read-alouds
- Student-held props for each part of the story—perfect for participation, movement, and sound effects
- Story-retelling visuals for sequencing on a cookie sheet, whiteboard, Velcro wall, or felt board
- Choice board icon so students can request Santa’s Stuck! again and again (and they WILL!)
⭐ How It Works
As you read the story aloud, students watch for their matching visual cue and lift their prop when it appears in the story. Add plenty of expression, movement, and festive sound effects to make each scene memorable and fun!
Think:
🎅 “Uh-oh! Santa’s stuck!” (hands on cheeks, dramatic gasp)
🎄 “Push! Push harder!” (students pretend to push together)
✨ “Squeeeeeze through, Santa!” (wiggle motions as Santa tries to slip out)
🎁 “He made it!” (celebratory cheer)
These props help students stay engaged, anticipate key story events, and understand the sequence of Santa’s silly misadventure.
After reading, use the retelling visuals to work together to rebuild the story—from Santa getting stuck, to the animals attempts to help him out, to the joyful ending! These hands-on sequencing pieces are perfect for building narrative skills, comprehension, vocabulary, and confidence.
