Welcome to “Elmo the Musical,” a fun and exciting story where Elmo uses his imagination to go on amazing adventures! In this story, Elmo and his friend help Ms. Penguin get to her wedding at the South Pole. Let’s see what they learn along the way!
Elmo and his friend pretend to be airplane pilots. They have a special job to do: help Ms. Penguin get to her wedding on time! She needs to be there by 11:00 AM. This teaches us about planning and being on time.
Elmo shows us how to read a clock. He says the little hand is on the seven and the big hand is on the twelve, which means it is 7:00 AM. This helps us learn how to tell time and why being on time is important.
Oh no! Ms. Penguin forgot her wedding ring! Elmo turns the scene into a jewelry store, but they only find a pendant, not a ring. This part of the story teaches us about different shapes and why they matter.
Ms. Penguin has a funny idea: she uses a bagel as her wedding ring! This shows us how to think of new and different ways to solve problems. It also reminds us that love can be shown in many ways.
Ms. Penguin needs bridesmaids for her wedding. Elmo helps her find three cows to be her bridesmaids. This teaches us about counting and matching numbers, like three cows for three dresses.
Elmo and Ms. Penguin work together to solve problems. They show us that teamwork can help us find great solutions and make things easier.
When the plane is too heavy, Elmo asks everyone to flap their arms like wings to help the plane fly. This fun moment teaches us to keep trying and use our imagination to solve problems.
Elmo and Ms. Penguin make it to the South Pole just in time for the wedding! Seals, whales, and fish join the celebration. This happy ending shows us the importance of friendship and working together.
“Elmo the Musical” is not just fun, but it also teaches us important lessons about time, shapes, problem-solving, and teamwork. Elmo and Ms. Penguin’s adventure reminds us that friendship and working together bring joy and success!
Time Telling Adventure: Create a simple clock using a paper plate and two paper strips for the hands. Use a brad to attach the hands to the center of the plate. Practice moving the hands to show different times. Ask your child to set the clock to specific times, like 7:00 AM or 11:00 AM, and discuss what activities they might do at those times.
Shape Hunt: Go on a shape hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that match the shapes mentioned in the story, like circles (bagels) or other shapes you can find. Discuss why different shapes are important and how they are used in everyday objects.
Teamwork Challenge: Organize a simple task that requires teamwork, such as building a small tower using blocks or creating a drawing together. Encourage children to share ideas and work together to complete the task. Afterward, talk about how teamwork helped them achieve their goal and what they learned from working together.
