Hand Jive


High Five   Adam Rubin, author    Daniel Salimieri, illustrator


10 word review: Rhymes, vocabulary “zesty finesse”, interactive, fun, bright colors & multiple animals
  • Sensi, the narrator voices instructions for high five gamesmanship.
  • Hand and arm position for successful high five
  • Chart with suggested high five styles

Tiny quibbles: rhyme patterns are not always consistent; male kangaroos don’t have pockets; the palms for practice high fives are all right handed.

Suggestions for read aloud
One on one:  Sit side by side and practice your high fives on the page
In classroom or group:  Use a recorded video on screen, listeners in a double circle, inside face out, outside facing in, rotating opposite directions as the video plays, practice high fiving, continue with the style chart with partners. 
Great brain break activity.
