ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten ???? Kids Read Aloud | WHERE THE WILD THINDS ARE by Maurice Sendak
Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to have a fun story time together. Are you ready? Let’s dive into the magical world of a book called “Where the Wild Things Are,” written and illustrated by Maurice Sendak.
Once upon a time, there was a boy named Max. Max loved to wear his wolf costume and play all sorts of silly games. One day, he was being a little too wild, and his mom called him a “Wild Thing.” Max was so upset that he shouted, “I’ll eat you up!” Oh no! Because of this, Max had to go to bed without any dinner.
That night, something amazing happened in Max’s room. A forest started to grow! Can you imagine that? Trees and vines appeared everywhere until his room turned into a big, green jungle. It was like magic!
As Max looked around, he saw an ocean with a special boat just for him. He hopped in and sailed away, traveling through the night and even through weeks! What a brave explorer Max was!
Max’s adventure teaches us that our imagination can take us to incredible places. Even when we feel upset, we can find ways to calm down and explore new worlds in our minds. Isn’t that exciting?
Now it’s your turn! Close your eyes and imagine your own magical place. What do you see? Maybe a candy land or a castle in the clouds? Remember, your imagination can take you anywhere you want to go!
Thanks for joining us for story time. We hope you had fun and learned something new. See you next time for another adventure!
Create Your Own Adventure: Gather some art supplies like paper, crayons, and markers. Ask the children to draw their own magical place, just like Max’s forest. Encourage them to think about what they would see, hear, and feel in their imaginary world. After drawing, have each child share their adventure with the class, describing what makes their place special.
Imagination Walk: Take the children on a short walk around the school or playground. Ask them to use their imagination to transform the environment into something magical. For example, the playground could become a pirate ship, and the trees could be giant lollipops. Encourage them to describe their imaginative transformations and what role they would play in this new world.
Story Time Role Play: Invite the children to act out parts of Max’s adventure. Provide simple props like a paper crown or a cardboard boat. Let them take turns being Max, the Wild Things, or even the ocean. This activity helps them understand the story better and encourages them to express their creativity through movement and role play.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hi, I’m Ryan Lagod and I’m Craig Tovy, and welcome to Story Time with Ryan Lagod and Craig Tovy. Today, we’ll be reading “Where the Wild Things Are,” story and pictures by Maurice Sendak.
Let’s get started!
The night Max wore his wolf suit and made mischief of one kind and another, he was chasing his dog. His mother called him “Wild Thing,” and Max said, “I’ll eat you up!” So he went to bed without eating anything.
That very night in Max’s room, a forest grew—impossible and unlikely—until his ceiling hung with vines and the walls became the world all around. An ocean tumbled by with a private boat for Max, and he sailed off through night and day, in and out of weeks, and
