ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten ???? Kids Read Aloud | GIRAFFES CAN’T DANCE by Giles Andreae
Hi there! I’m Ryan, and this is my friend Creek Toby. We’re so excited to share a fun story with you today. Are you ready to join us for some story time magic?
Our story today is called “Giraffes Can’t Dance.” It was written by Giles Andreae and illustrated by Guy Parker-Rees. It’s a wonderful tale about a giraffe named Gerald who learns something very special.
Gerald is a tall, long-necked giraffe who loves to watch other animals dance. But there’s one problem—Gerald thinks he can’t dance at all! He feels a bit sad because he wants to join in the fun.
One day, Gerald discovers that everyone can dance in their own special way. With a little help from his friends and some music, Gerald finds his rhythm and starts to dance like never before!
This story teaches us that it’s okay to be different. Everyone has their own unique way of doing things, and that’s what makes us special. Just like Gerald, we can all find our own way to shine!
Now that we’ve heard Gerald’s story, let’s have some fun! Put on your favorite music and dance around. Remember, there’s no wrong way to dance. Just move your body and have a great time!
We learned that everyone can dance in their own special way. It’s important to be yourself and enjoy what makes you unique. Just like Gerald, you can do amazing things when you believe in yourself!
Thanks for joining us for story time. We hope you had fun and learned something new. See you next time for another exciting adventure!
Animal Dance Party: Gather your friends or family and have an animal dance party! Each person can choose an animal and dance like that animal. For example, you can stomp like an elephant, hop like a kangaroo, or wiggle like a snake. Notice how each dance is different and special, just like Gerald’s dance. Afterward, talk about how it felt to dance like different animals and how each dance was unique.
Create Your Own Dance: Think about your favorite activities or hobbies. Can you create a dance that shows what you love to do? Maybe you like to play soccer, paint, or read books. Use your imagination to make up a dance that tells a story about your favorite things. Share your dance with someone and explain what it represents. Remember, there’s no wrong way to dance!
Question Time: Let’s think about Gerald’s story. Why do you think Gerald felt sad at first? What helped him find his own way to dance? Talk with a friend or family member about a time when you learned to do something new. How did it feel when you finally did it? What helped you along the way?
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
