ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten ???? Kids Read Aloud | IF YOU GIVE A MOUSE A COOKIE by Felicia Bond
Hi there! I’m Ryan, and I’m here with my friends Craig and Tara. Today, we’re going to read a fun story together. Are you ready? Let’s go!
We have a special guest today, Tara Erickson! She’s going to help us read the story. Isn’t that exciting? Let’s welcome her to our story time!
Today, we’re reading a book called “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.” It was written by Laura Numeroff and has beautiful pictures by Felicia Bond. Let’s find out what happens in the story!
If you give a mouse a cookie, guess what? He’ll want a glass of milk to go with it! And when you give him the milk, he’ll probably ask for a straw to drink it with. Isn’t that silly?
After he finishes drinking, he’ll ask for a napkin to wipe his face. Do you know what a napkin is? It’s a little cloth or paper you use to clean up!
Next, the mouse will want to look in a mirror to check if he has a milk mustache. Do you know what a milk mustache is? It’s when you have a little milk left on your upper lip after drinking. It’s funny!
When the mouse looks in the mirror, he might see that his hair needs a trim. So, he’ll ask for some nail scissors to give himself a little haircut. What a busy mouse!
This story teaches us about cause and effect. That means when you do one thing, it can make something else happen. Just like when you give a mouse a cookie, he might ask for more things!
Wasn’t that a fun story? You can think about what you would do if you gave a mouse a cookie. What would you give him next? Use your imagination and have fun!
Cookie Chain Reaction: Let’s create our own cause and effect chain! Start with a simple action, like giving a toy a cookie. What do you think the toy will ask for next? Draw a picture of each step in your chain reaction. Share your story with a friend and see how many steps you can come up with!
Milk Mustache Fun: Let’s make our own milk mustaches! Pour a little milk into a cup and take a sip. Check in the mirror to see if you have a milk mustache. Can you make it bigger or smaller? Try it with a friend and see who can make the funniest milk mustache!
Cause and Effect Hunt: Go on a cause and effect hunt around your home or classroom. Find examples of cause and effect, like turning on a light switch (cause) and the light turning on (effect). Draw or write down what you find and share it with the class. How many examples can you discover?
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Alright, well, there if you need him, we won’t.
Then he’ll want to look in a mirror to make sure he doesn’t have a milk mustache.
Oh no, Ryan! That’s your actual mustache!
Oh no! When did this happen?
When he looks into the mirror, you might notice his hair needs a trim, so he’ll probably ask for a pair of nail scissors.
Gonna come for that mustache!
