Over the past few days, Sam and I have been enjoying some clips from the Cookie's Crumby Pictures channel (hosted by Sesame Street) on YouTube. This channel has about ten clips, all starring Cookie Monster, that are spoofs from popular movies. The clips, though, also are geared toward teaching children tips on how to understand feelings, focus on completing tasks, remember directions, listen to others, and follow instructions. I feel like a lot of these tips are especially helpful for kindergarteners and first graders. Sam liked noting how several of these tips are also taught in his classroom, so I was glad that we could reinforce these concepts in a fun and creative way.
Our favorite clip is "Star S'Mores" (that I've embedded below). They are all cute, but my other favorites are "Cookie of Oz," "The Hungry Games - Catching Fur" and "Les Mousserables." Sam likes "The Biscotti Kid" (which J hasn't seen yet, but I'm sure he will like the "Karate Kid" references, since that was one of his favorite shows growing up). All of the clips have pretty clever impersonations and witty references to the films they parody.
