Preschool is always best when we can sing, dance, explore, and PLAY together. When that is not possible, however, we invite you to join us for a daily Virtual Preschool circle time. In each video, young students will listen to a story, sing a song or rhyme, play a game, and practice important pre-kindergarten skills. Welcome to Virtual Preschool with Miss Jamie and Betsy!

Each day, there is a welcome song & dance, a mini-lesson or flannel board story about the topic of the day, a fingerplay, games, and a story. Parents (and teachers) can also download additional play and learning activities to go with each lesson.

Virtual Preschool Circle Time 2.1 – “The Three Little Pigs”

Today we’re going to learn a popular fairy tale story, “The Three Little Pigs.” Build your own little pig house and ask the Big Bad Wolf to blow it down!

  • The Three Little Pigs felt pieces are by Little Folk Visuals! Their story-telling sets are a great value.
  • Sneaky Pig Carpet Game: Part of this set of Carpet Games.

    Hi Jamie! Thanks for everything you are doing! I teach preschool and will begin a virtual circle time next week! Wondering, where the farm animal cards you used with Little Red Hen story came from? They are beautiful photos and we’re perfect for your game!

    Is this something that is temporary due to schools being closed or something that you will do on an ongoing basis?

      We’re taking it one week at a time. I will let you know!

    Dear Jamie,

    Thank you for all you are doing in these uncertain times. You resources and online circle time videos are invaluable. I teach preK and they have helped me plan my own virtual circle times here in Malaysia.

    Thank you for this amazing resource! If we lived closer I would sign my almost three year old up for class in a minute:). Loving all of the lessons and activity suggestions. When I tell my daughter it’s time for circle she gets excited to see “my friend Ms. Jamie”. Thanks again!

    My Dad, a retired 5th grade teacher found this for us. We got started late so we’re watching a couple of weeks behind to have a backlog to work with. My boys (4 and 23 months) CRIED when preschool time was over last week. So grateful for the resources!
