Hi there, my reading friends! Today, we’re going to read a special story called “Be Kind.” This story is in English and Spanish, and it’s all about being nice to everyone and everything around us. Let’s have fun and learn together!
Being kind means being nice and gentle. Let’s start with our furry friends:
Be kind to the dog. Dogs love to play with you, and they will be nice to you too!
Be kind to the cat. Sometimes cats might not be nice, but we should be kind to them anyway.
There are many small creatures that need our kindness too:
Be kind to the mouse. It’s tiny and needs to be brave.
Be kind to the frog. Frogs love to jump just like you do!
Even the smallest insects deserve our kindness:
Be kind to the spider. Its web is its home, and it makes the dark look magical.
Be kind to the grasshopper. It sings to find friends.
Be kind to the slug. It moves very slowly.
Be kind to the caterpillar. One day, it will turn into a beautiful butterfly!
Be kind to the ant. It’s busy looking for food for its family.
Small creatures can grow big, and if they learn about kindness, they will be kind to you too. Remember to be kind to everyone, whether they are big or small, nice or not so nice. Kindness makes the world a better place!
Did you enjoy our story? I hope you had fun learning about being kind. See you next time for more adventures!
Animal Kindness Role Play: Gather some stuffed animals or animal toys. Pretend to be the animals from the story, like a dog, cat, or frog. Take turns with your friends or family acting out how you can be kind to each animal. For example, gently pet the dog or give the cat some space if it seems shy. Discuss how each animal might feel when you are kind to them.
Insect Observation Walk: Go on a short walk in your garden or a nearby park with an adult. Look for insects like ants, grasshoppers, or caterpillars. Watch how they move and what they do. Talk about how you can be kind to these insects, such as not stepping on them or gently observing them without disturbing their homes. Draw a picture of your favorite insect and share why you chose it.
Kindness Jar: Create a “Kindness Jar” at home. Every time you do something kind for an animal or insect, write it on a small piece of paper and put it in the jar. At the end of the week, read all the kind things you did. Discuss with your family how these acts of kindness made you feel and how they might have helped the animals or insects.
