Printables for use with children's books.
- Preschool and up: Read a number of snake themed children's books to the children over the course of a few days. Give each child a "snake graph" page. Have the children write the titles of 2 to 4 books on their page. Then have them wander around the classroom and ask their classmates which of their titles was the classmate's favorite. Have them mark the favorite on the graph paper box to track the most popular title.
- Kindergarten and up: Have the children read one of the snake books (either fiction or non-fiction). Give each child 2 or 3 lined
"snake pages" to write a short book report.

- Kindergarten and up: After reading a number of fiction and non-fiction works, have the children write what it might be like to have a
snake living in their house -- food needs, temperature, playtime, etc would all be topics they could address. Alternatively, you could have them write what they like about
snakes.
