  • What is one wish from the story that you would like for yourself, and why do you think it’s important?
  • Can you think of a time when you showed courage or tried something new? How did it make you feel?
  • What are some ways you can show kindness and generosity to your friends and family?
  1. Wish Tree Craft: Create a “Wish Tree” using a small branch or a drawing of a tree. Ask each child to think of a wish they have for themselves or someone they love. Write these wishes on small pieces of paper or leaves cut out from colored paper. Hang or tape the wishes onto the tree. Discuss with the children how these wishes can bring happiness and how they can help make these wishes come true for themselves and others.

  2. Imagination Adventure: Encourage the children to use their imagination and creativity by drawing or crafting a scene from their dream adventure. Provide them with paper, crayons, and other art supplies. Ask them to describe their adventure to the class, focusing on the feelings of happiness and excitement it brings. Discuss how using imagination can make everyday life more colorful and fun.

  3. Kindness Challenge: Organize a “Kindness Challenge” where each child performs a small act of kindness for someone else, such as sharing a toy, helping a friend, or giving a compliment. Afterward, gather the children to share their experiences and discuss how these acts made them and others feel. Highlight the importance of kindness and generosity in spreading happiness.
