Peach Party

Peach Party

There is not a lot of fun activities and games that can be done with elementary students that deal with the story of James and the Giant Peach. However, the story may be utlized during Open House towards the end of the school year.

Most schools have an evening dedicated to an open house. This allows for the parents of students to enter each of their child's classrooms and gage their child's progress with each teacher. It is customary that each teacher have a theme to accompany his/her classroom. The tale of James and his peach serves as an excellent lesson to be studied just before Open House.

The theme of the classroom will be "Peach Party". The Party wil include station with an array of peach goodies. A bowl of plentiful peaches for the children and the parents to snack, peach scented candles, a peach themed table cloth and napkins, and peach candy will be just a few of the items enjoyed during the peach party. (It might also be a good idea to play the film, James and the Giant Peach, during the party.) Folders will be topped on the desk of each student that will include their worksheets, tests, and homeworks that deal with this particular unit.
