They all have their favorites; I go to the library weekly so we can rotate some new ones into the mix.
When a story becomes repetitive I usually change the characters names or origin. For example if we are reading “Twas the Night before Christmas” I change it to “Twas the night Before Halloween” and so forth the kids laugh there heads off and it also shows that they are listening.
Or I also sometimes ask questions about the pictures in the story and ask them to count how many reindeer or stockings etc…
We also role play and pretend to be different animals before story time so I usually finish with an animal of my choice where I can say ok little kangaroos who can hop over and find me a book about Bunny Rabbits or Owls etc…
I’m not sure how many books you may have but you can also rotate your bookshelf or book box. Take some away for a few months and add some new ones. My library lets us take out 30 every 2 weeks.
