Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Chapter 1 - Reading and Activities



Description:
In this video, Caleb Sheets reads Chapter 1 in the book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and gives a couple of activities to do with kids ages 6-12 (or even a little older).

Materials Needed for Activity:
·         Paper (or a printed picture of a wizard’s robes)
·         Anything to color with (markers, colored pencils, crayons, etc.)
·         Again a kid with a great imagination!

Step by Step Guide to the Video for Parents/Guardians:
1.      The beginning of the video is simply me (Caleb) reading the first chapter of the book.
2.      After the reading of the book I give some specific instructions on what to do next.
3.      The child will be asked to color or draw the robes that they would want to wear as a wizard.
a.      Tell them to be as creative as possible! These are robes they would want to wear, make them serious, silly, or however they want!
b.      It might be helpful to print off a wizard robes if you can find some so they can just color them in!
                                                              i.      As the child is coloring, ask them why they are coloring the robes a certain color because it could help them to explain what is running through their head for a design!
4.      One the child is done coloring the robes, they are then asked to think of what animal they would want to be able to change into.
a.      I recommend sitting down and talking to them about this, it could take some more time if you ask more in depth questions about it!
                                                              i.      Also, if you want, you could look up the child’s animal on the internet and read some interesting facts about that animal as well!
                                                            ii.      It could be a fun learning experience for you child!
5.      HAVE FUN!

Hopefully all of the people that get to see this video will be able to enjoy some time listening to the first chapter of this book, drawing and coloring your wizards robes, and thinking about which animal you would want to turn into!
