A song to the tune of “Jingle Bells” by Deanna Jump
Mr. Grinch,
Mr. Grinch,
You’re so very mean.
Furry face and scowling eyes
The meanest I have seen. Oh!
Mr. Grinch,
Mr. Grinch,
Your heart grew and grew.
Now you are a friend of mine
and I’ll smile back at you!
Song for Poetry Journals
Mr. Grincha song to the tune of “Jingle Bells”
written by Deanna Jump
Mr. Grinch,
Mr. Grinch,
You’re so very mean.
Furry face and scowling eyes
The meanest I have seen. Oh!
Mr. Grinch,
Mr. Grinch,
Your heart grew and grew.
Now you are a friend of mine
and I’ll smile back at you!
Have the students add the song to their poetry journals and
draw a picture of the Grinch to illustrate it. Have the kids
become word detectives and use highlighters to highlight popcorn
words.
Characters Change- Read the story. Talk about the
characteristics of the Grinch at the beginning of the story. Did he
change? What caused the change? Record the answers on the
Characters can Change sheet.
Text to Self Connections- After reading the story have the
students think about how at the beginning of the story the Grinch was
grumpy. Why do you think he was grumpy? How did he feel at the end
of the story? What made him happy. Have the students think about a
time when they felt grumpy and a time when they felt happy. Talk
about how they can relate their feelings to the story of the Grinch.
Use the response sheet for them to draw and write their responses.
Grinch Math- Read, draw and solve the Grinch math problems.
Use the math manipulatives provided if desired. Many of these problems
involve higher order thinking skills so you might want to do some of them
together as part of your math message. My kids love “stretching their
brains!”
Directions for The Grinch activities
How to Make a Grinch Grin- Use the patterns included
to make a Grinch. Have the children brainstorm ways to
make a Grinch grin. They should write their sentence and
draw their picture inside the Grinch’s mouth. **Note: This idea
originally came from The Mailbox Magazine about 15 years ago. I just
made it a little bit cuter.
