Here Comes the Big Mean Dust Bunny | Book Activities and Craftivity

HERE COMES THE BIG MEAN DUST BUNNY

Jan Thomas writes the funniest books, and Here Comes the Big Mean Dust Bunny is no exception! As a teacher I also love how the book includes a focus on rhyming skills, too! This book, paired with these reading activities, will help students develop and practice reading comprehension and literacy skills (including rhyme!) in a fun way.

HERE COMES THE BIG MEAN DUST BUNNY BOOK ACTIVITIES AND TEACHING IDEAS

In Here Comes the Big Mean Dust Bunny, we are introduced to Ed, Ned, Ted, and Bob. They like to rhyme...all the time! Can you guess which character has trouble with rhyming words?

We are also introduced to the big, mean dust bunny. Let's just say that he sure lives up to his name! The big, mean dust bunny is quite the bully. He speaks rudely, sits on the other characters, and chases them around.

The big mean dust bunny runs into some trouble. Even though they were not treated nicely by the big mean dust bunny, Ed, Ted, Ned, and Bob come to the rescue and lend a helping hand!

And they became friends!

This book is great for a discussion about bullying and how to treat others (even though they may not treat you nicely). It also shows that sometimes you can even become friends.

This book study unit is packed with fun activities that will help your Kindergarten and First Grade students with story elements, character traits, making text to self connections, author's purpose, main idea, making inferences, vocabulary, rhyming skills, writing, giving opinions and advice, problem and solution, story retell, reading comprehension, and much more!

These activities can be used for whole class learning, during small group guided reading time, as individual student work, or as part of a book club. Copy a pack for each student and you're ready to go!

This Here Comes the Big Mean Dust Bunny book companion will save you tons of planning time, is no prep, and is great to leave for a sub!

It includes activities where students practice identifying rhyming words as well as making their own.

HERE COMES THE BIG MEAN DUST BUNNY CRAFT

This craftivity has students draw and write about how to make a new friend. This is a great follow-up activity after doing the book study, and the craft makes a sweet bulletin board display to showcase student learning.
