Make prop boxes and encourage children to act out classic stories such as "Jack in the Beanstalk."  Provide a small cap to be Jack, beans, a stuffed cow and goose, an apron for the mother, a tattered shirt for the giant and a small step stool to creat the large beanstalk.  Encourage children to use phrases and motions from the story.
