Should I Share My Ice Cream? (An Elephant and Piggie Book)

Elephant has a dilemma: should he share his ice cream with Piggie? It is hard to share the things that we love. This book captures what it means to be a good friend and sharing with others. To celebrate the message we created a sharing game.

Materials for Elephant and Piggie Sharing Shapes Activity:

  • Construction paper Or Card Stock
  • Glue Sticks
  • Scissors
  • Markers
  • Shapes Dice

Instructions for Elephant and Piggie Sharing Shapes Activity:

  • Cut out the shapes you need to make Elephant and Piggie. This is a good time for the kids to practice their scissor skills. We have a Piggie Template and an Elephant Template that you can use.

  • Put all the shapes in the center of the table.
  • Have the kids roll the dice. The twist on this game is that the child shares the shape with another child. So if Justin is rolling the Elephant dice and Justin gets the trunk. He takes that shape and shares it with someone else.
  • Have the children pay attention to what the other players need to complete their character.
  • To add a bit of sweetness have the players act out their characters sharing or complimenting each other.
